Residents of Japan who have received a COVID-19 vaccine will be exempted from entry or quarantine procedures in five European countries if they have a vaccine passport, the government said Wednesday.

Estonia has also been added to the list of countries, as it does not currently require travelers to self-isolate upon entry.
