@itsDuncan That is super helpful! Thank you for finding the PDF and doing the work of investigating the routes were resumed! 
We’re still not sure about China, but we’ll keep monitoring and will resume it when things improve.

Welcome to the forum!
This seems to be a January update and it was already used to update the Postal Monitor earlier in the year. Mail to Ireland has since been suspended again though, sadly.

Hi @Ryuuen, thank you for the post.
As it is mentioned in the How to/What to report on this topic on the first post; When making decisions for Postal Monitor, Postcrossing also takes into consideration the statistics and reports from its members. Japan is one of these cases.
*In addition to the official announcement from the postal agency, our Postal monitor is based on the actual reports from Postcrossing members on their returned/unaccepted postcards.
e.g. Japan, South Korea (surface only = suspended)
Overall global mail traffic and lockdown trends are being monitored, tested and checked if more destination countries could be added.
To avoid returned or rejected postcards at post offices for the 10585 members in Japan, Postcrossing will ease out the suspended routes carefully. That’s my understanding.

If there’s someone around that is familiar with the services offered by Correos de Chile (or is better at Spanish than us), let us know what do you understand by this sentence:
Informamos que dada las nuevas medidas que afectan el cierre de fronteras, se mantendrán suspendido los siguientes servicios UPU de envíos al extranjero: EMS, Encomienda Internacional, PPI (certificado y sin seguimiento) y Carta certificada y sin seguimiento.
Our doubt is: is “Carta certificada y sin seguimiento” one thing, as in registered letters without tracking? Or do they mean both “Cartas certificadas” AND other mail “sin seguimiento”? 
Grammatically “certificada y sin seguimiento” is one thing. Hence my own confusion, because in the US certified mail that isn’t tracked is basically a contradiction. The only thing I can think of is that this may actually refer to what we call in the US return receipt. In the US return receipt (which isn’t tracked) can only be done on certified mail (which is tracked), but perhaps in Chile (under normal times) return receipt is a standalone service that does not require certified mail.
Edit:
Of course it is also possible that they made a grammatical mistake, and that it should have been written:
“EMS, Encomienda Internacional, PPI (certificado y sin seguimiento), Carta certificada y sin seguimiento.”
Possible, but going by their capitalization I still think they meant it as one thing.
