To all students, faculty, and staff,
A state of emergency declared for Tokyo has been lifted, but the semi-emergency coronavirus spread prevention measures continues to be in effect for Tokyo and the three Prefectures of the Metropolitan area including Saitama. In response to this, we have decided to take the measures as below.
In the future, we will make a decision promptly when there is an occasion, in which we will have to consider altering the restriction level as we comprehensively review the tendency of the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the Metropolitan areas, the requests from MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), local governments or society.
