2020-04-01 JAPAN POST suspension of acceptance
==============================================
https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0401_02_en.html

The novel coronavirus pandemic has caused many countries/territories to take measures such as stopping acceptance of inbound postal items as well as considerable suspension and reduction of flights from/to Japan. Accordingly, our transportation performance has significantly declined. Therefore, acceptance of international mail items, mainly EMS and parcel-post/letter-post items by air and SAL, will be temporarily suspended from April 2.

List below shows countries and territories to which acceptance of mail is temporarily suspended because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
