One year has passed since the spread of COVID-19 infection. I would like to express my deep appreciation to the students for their cooperation in continuing to learn in difficult situations, such as the announcement of the declaration of a state of emergency and daily life while taking measures to prevent infection.
　Taking advantage of the experience of the past year, we are preparing for the new year. We will continue our efforts to ensure the health and safety of our students and to maintain the quality of our educational activities, and we ask for your continued understanding and cooperation.

１．About report when there is a risk of infection or infection in COVID-19 infection

　If a student suffers from COVID-19 infection, the university must take prompt measures to prevent the spread of infection according to the instructions of the health center in accordance with the Infectious Diseases Law.
　If you fall under 1-4 below, please report your health status from Google Form as soon as possible. (* The URL of the Google Form will be sent by email.)

２．Inquiry counter

４．Request for thorough infection control

　The number of young infected person among young people is increasing nationwide. Although many young people have passed asymptomatic or mild symptoms, there are also reports of severe cases and sequelae. Thoroughly implement basic infection control measures, avoid "five scenes*" that increase the risk of infection, and take action once again during the spring break to make sure that each person does not become infected and does not infect others. Please.

　We ask for your cooperation in refraining from traveling outside the prefecture, especially in areas where the declaration of a state of emergency was issued. If it is unavoidable to move outside the prefecture due to job hunting, etc., make a careful judgment, paying attention to the spread of infection in the area where you are moving and the information issued by the local government, and if you are moving, Take thorough infection prevention measures. In addition, please continue the health observation performed during the class period and keep a record of your behavior history such as when and where you stopped.
　If you return home during the spring break, please come to Japan two weeks before commuting to the spring semester as much as possible, and continue to observe your health and record your behavior history after visiting.
