To all students, faculty, and staff,

In response to the downgrading of COVID-19 to “Class 5 infectious disease”, we have decided to take the measures 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 in activity restriction policy 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.
