Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19
The
guidelines for preventing the spread of infection on campus upon resuming in-person
classes from the fall semester will be as follows. Thank you for your
understanding and cooperation.
Description
(1) Enhance
immunity by following a well-regulated lifestyle (balanced diet, sufficient
sleep, moderate exercise). Take your temperature twice daily, in the morning
and evening, and understand your daily state of health. Use the "HealthManagement and Activity Log Sheet" for
daily records.
(2) Download
and use a COVID-19 contact-confirming app, such as COCOA, on your smartphone.
(3) For
extracurricular and other activities, use online systems or email and avoid
having people assemble whenever possible. When conducting in-person
extracurricular activities, refer to the “Extracurricular Activity Guidelines:
Proper Enforcement of Measures to Prevent Infection” already made available to
all organizations and take sufficient measures to prevent infection.
(4) If you have
been infected, become a close contact, or have cold symptoms such as fever or
abnormal sense of taste or smell, you are not allowed to enter campus. The
university will determine whether or not you can enter campus and take
appropriate action in light of individual circumstances based on “CampusEntry Possibility Regarding COVID-19” posted on the university’s website.
(5) If you
develop a fever or feel sick after entering the university, you should refrain
from using campus facilities and return home immediately.
(6) Wear a mask
when entering campus. Always wear a mask when talking in person. In addition,
observe proper cough etiquette.
(7) Be thorough
in washing hands and gargling, and sufficiently disinfect hands and fingers
with disinfectant placed at building entrances or in corridors.
(8) Maintain
enough space between people (at least 1m). Also, be sure to leave a
particularly large amount of space (at least 2m) when conversing or speaking.
(9) Since
elevators may become closed, crowded, close-contact settings, use stairs unless
you are physically handicapped or are transporting equipment.
(10) When having meals, make sure to leave some space
between seats so as not to sit facing or next to each other. Refrain from having
conversations while eating and have them after your meal while wearing a mask.
(11) In addition to the above, the following points
should be taken into consideration when using the cafeteria.
・ Disinfect hands with disinfectant
provided in the cafeteria.
・ When waiting in line to buy a meal ticket or receive a meal, use the
floor markers as a guide to leave space between people.
・ Except when eating meals, wear a mask even in the cafeteria.
・ Leave the cafeteria quickly as soon
as your meal is finished and shorten the time you stay in the cafeteria.
* Admission will be restricted at busy times to
avoid creating closed, crowded, close-contact circumstances.
(12) Return home immediately after class or on-campus errands.
