Due to the fact that the risk of severe illness has been reduced due to the popularity of vaccines, the daily recovery before the pandemic has accelerated in some countries in Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia. On the other hand, China, which has hosted the Winter Olympic Games since February 4, continues to follow its travel history and zero corona policy.
This time, living in China, continued strict behavior restrictions and local conditions, procedures, and members related to the return of Japan, Japanese entry from China and Japanese quarantine reports.
On Sunday, January 2, 2022, take a flight: ANA NH920 from Pudong, Shanghai at 13:50, Narita, Tokyo, at 17:40 to passengers: 1 adult, 2 children (middle school students), a total of 3.
1. Preparation for the day before going to Japan and returning to China
日本入国後の滞在場所確保
Around the first ten days of December 2021, make an appointment for accommodation facilities before the house you decide to live in after returning home. China is the target country of "standby accommodation facilities ensured by quarantine", so the same accommodation facilities are booked during the waiting period at Narita's home 14 days after arrival. If there is a vaccination certificate that Japan thinks is valid, the standby time can be reduced to 10 days, but the vaccine produced by the Chinese Snow farm vaccinated by the author has not yet been recognized.
In general, no matter where the hotel is, even if it conveys the meaning of spending the waiting period after returning home, there is only no cleaning during this period, and it seems that you can make a reservation without any problem.
帰国直前のハプニング、身近な場所で感染者が発覚
In late November, about a month before leaving the country, Shanghai reported a long-lost new case of domestic infection, and the apartment opposite my home where novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as the corona) was infected will become a medium-risk area. If you become an occupant of an apartment in a medium-risk area, the health code becomes yellow indicating a suspected infected person and cannot come out of the apartment's land. All patients were negative by PCR examination at any time, and the blockade was lifted within 14 days.
About two weeks before leaving the country, Japanese people in self-isolation were confirmed to be coronal positive in Shanghai. Several people in apartments and offices where many Japanese live were cordoned off for 48 hours because of people who had come into contact with strong contacts. I think the corona is getting closer and closer, praying that nothing will happen before the departure date.
帰国直前の準備、陰性証明取得のためPCR検査を受ける
Two days before going abroad, I was examined by COVID-19. According to the format stipulated by the Ministry of Health and Labor published on the HP of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, hospitals can be issued with COVID-19-related test certificates that can be issued within 72 hours before going abroad. Depending on the hospital, the cost ranges from 420 yuan to 640 yuan (about 6720 to 12,240 yen).
The day before going abroad, I received a "negative" test certificate for COVID-19 from the hospital. In addition, when entering Japan, it was shown to the quarantine officer that the quarantine designated by the Ministry of Health and Labor filled out the "question list" of detention experience and health status, and saved the final QR code. You can enter it here before entering Japan.
On the eve of going abroad, the health QR code was obtained by showing it to the quarantine officer when China was leaving the country. Here, personal information flight details of the past stranded resume, contact resume, etc., entered 24 hours before China's departure, the validity period.

2. Shanghai Pudong Airport to boarding
空港に入るために、緑の健康コードの証明を提示
Since the day before, the possibility of change in departure time has been contacted with ANA. Before 10:30 on the day of going abroad, news came that quarantine intensification and disinfection work would start at 13:35 to 15:05 and arrive at 17:25 at 18:55. However, as the arranged car has arrived at the apartment, we will leave for Pudong Airport on schedule.
To enter the airport, you need to show the green health code (the code indicating the access history of the area where there is no risk of infection) and the itinerary code (action history of the past 2 weeks). In Shanghai, I was often prompted when entering shopping malls and hospitals, so I got used to it.
Although the flight was delayed for an hour and a half, there were already many people on the counter. Stand in line and prompt the mask workers to use Japanese and Chinese to get the health QR code they show when they go abroad in China. Wait in line for about 20 minutes, use the negative certificate and passport to check in, and there are instructions to open the checked suitcases of the two family members. I took out the functional area and the electronic dictionary, but that's not the reason. Is it part of strengthening quarantine? As soon as the ticket was issued, it may be due to flight delay, so I got a snack.
When entering the security checkpoint, it is necessary to get a healthy QR code within 24 hours of departure last night. In addition to showing the QR code, the customs is also as usual.

航空機内へ、搭乗率は6－7割程度
According to the delayed schedule, boarding starts at 14:45. A person was free next to him, and his colleagues sat side by side. The occupancy rate of about 670% on the plane left a considerable impression on people. The Ministry of Health and Labor chose no one's seat at the back of the toilet in order to be regarded as a strong contact when taking a train within two rows of positive people on international routes. Flight food and beverage service is also business as usual, flight attendants only have masks and gloves, feeling the gap with Air China, which flew to Shanghai a year ago, which is full of protective clothing.
Fill in the "health card (declaration of area of stay in the past 14 days)", "affidavit" and "questions raised in accordance with Article 12 of the Quarantine Law" issued on the plane. In addition to the "health card", you can also print and fill in in advance. The so-called "oath", 14 days of non-use of public transport, standby at home, tips for the preservation of location information, oath of access to confirm the introduction of applications, etc., in violation of the case, about the Japanese, the name and the information to prevent the expansion of infection are made public.
3. Enter at Narita Airport
降機後の通路、パイプ椅子が多数並ぶ
After arriving in Narita, as when China entered the country last year, I got off the plane from the front several trains, initially for business, followed by the first half of the economy. Each category came down all of a sudden, and got off the plane smoothly in about 20 minutes. Follow the person in front of you, and a tube chair will appear on the left and right. When there were many immigrants, he continued to sit while thinking of waiting for a plane from such a distance.
During the seating period, the Japanese staff confirmed the "health card", "questions raised in accordance with Article 12 of the Quarantine Law", three sets of "affidavits" and passports filled out on the plane. Be directed to the reception desk in order to check the documents.
Then antigens were detected by saliva collection. As rumored, photos of lemons and prunes, as well as how to massage the cheek and throat to make saliva easier to send out. Peers can collect it in the same recipe. Children who are not good at PCR from the nose are also very good at saliva and finish it quickly. A sticker with a bar code on the back of the passport.
帰国後の移動履歴を確認する各種アプリをダウンロード
Next, confirm the download of the application, etc. The applications installed by returnees are set to "MySOS" and "COCOA", as well as terminal location information. There are three people in my family, one Sony tablet each for iPhone, Xiaomi, Huawei and Lenovo smartphones. Young people who are thought to be native Chinese speakers took me to my seat to confirm that APP was downloaded. Over the age of 13 means everyone needs one and downloads it to the iPhone and Sony tablets. Chinese-made smartphones can join the Google Play, but the app cannot be downloaded, resulting in a smartphone rented for 15, 000 yen. Test whether it can be received by filling in the e-mail address of the oath and receive instructions such as "MySOS". It took me 30 minutes to stay here.
The Japanese man who rented a smartphone next to him said, "come on!" "I heard him yell and felt that he had returned to Japan. Apart from renting smartphones, all the others are foreigners with eyes, leading the way everywhere, and their Japanese is also good.
At the last booth, scan the QR code of the "question form" entered by the network, check your passport, submit an affidavit, and orally confirm your place of stay and the means of movement at the airport, waiting for the results of the antigen test on the designated seat. The filled paper is left in your hand, and there is only a "health card". Four digits below the number affixed to the back cover of the passport and called according to the order of the inspection results. It may be because it takes time to install the application and it takes about five minutes to be called to the number to accept pink paper with a negative hammock.

Finally, the baggage was picked up after immigration clearance from here, but the plane could leave the airport in about an hour and a half after arrival. The previous week's Christmas weekend seemed to have the largest number of visitors, but today there are enough staff, there is no overlap with other flights, and there is hardly a queue at all the booths.
4. Wait for 2 weeks of living in accommodation facilities
空港からハイヤーで宿泊施設へ、2週間の隔離生活スタート
A rental car booked from Narita airport to stay. Up to District 23 of Tokyo, the rental fee is 33,600 yen.
After arriving at the accommodation, check in as usual and meet with other guests. As shown below, when logging in the standby place, you will use "MySOS" to report your health status once a day from the next day, and the current location report will correspond to video calls from AI about twice a day.
<
On the third day after entering the country, self-examination was carried out using the antigen test kit collected from the nose issued by Narita Airport. If it's negative, there's no need to report the results.
On the fourth day after entry, PCR checks are carried out on Tokyo Metropolitan residents who are distributed free of charge at the arrival exit of Narita. Here is the saliva collection method. After logging in the information on Web, the bundled mail package summons is used for receiving entrustment. Although every weekend, but less than two days from the Tokyo PCR health inspection sent an e-mail, received a "negative" report.
水際対策の変更により、突如待機期間が終了
On the morning of January 15, when the last two-day waiting period ended, the standby period ended abruptly due to a change in waterside countermeasures. This is because from the same day, returnees and immigrants from all countries and regions to Japan, standby, health follow-up during standby, and the period during which public transport is not in use have been changed from 14 days to 10 days.
During the standby period, there were several times when I couldn't handle video calls from AI due to tablet discomfort. Explain at the airport that if you are taking a bath or cannot leave, please wait for the next call as it will not fold. There was not a single call from the operator or contact notification from COCOA.
The smartphone rented at Narita Airport was returned the next day by cash on delivery.
5. Feelings after returning to China and quarantining Japan
最大の懸念は、厳しい規制を敷く中国からの出国
In the process of returning from Shanghai to Japan, the most worrying thing is whether we can leave Shanghai safely. In Shanghai, as long as one person is infected, the area will be designated as a medium-risk area. China is so large that thousands of people in a region will also be subject to blockade measures. If you stay in that place for a few hours, the health code will turn yellow for two weeks, so of course you can't take the scheduled plane. From the history of the behavior of the infected person can be traced back to, not only a strong contact, but also identified as the contact of a strong contact, so it is not known when and where the blockade occurred.
Shanghai and Narita, both airport staff, seem to be completely used to dealing with the corona. However, because our family likes to use smartphones from Chinese manufacturers, we cannot install specified applications and decide to rent terminals, but in this case, except for those who are used to Japanese practice, it gives people the impression of being unwelcome. Since it is a coronal disaster, I think there is nothing we can do about it. However, when foreigners re-enter the country in the future, some people may find it inconvenient.
Narita Airport has the word "welcome".
After returning home, I stayed in Akihabara accommodation. Most of the staff who visited TV shopping malls, convenience stores and accommodation facilities during this period believed that Japanese was not their mother tongue. The same is true at Narita Airport. at a time when immigration is decreasing, many foreigners who do not use language as a weapon and only use Japanese as a matter of course feel their hard work in the coronal disaster, but are also greatly stimulated.
