学生，教職員の皆様
愛媛大学長 仁科弘重
新型コロナウイルス感染症拡大防止に関し，学生，教職員の皆様のこれまでのご協力，ご尽力に感謝申し上げます。
愛媛県では，ここ１～２週間で、松山市の繁華街での接待を伴う飲食店や深夜まで営業する飲食店での会食を原因とする大規模なクラスターの発生や，感染力が強いといわれている変異株によるものと推察される感染の拡大が起こっております。連日３０人前後の新規陽性者が確認され，市中感染まん延に近づいているといわれています。この状況は，既に第３波を超えた深刻なものとなっており，４月８日（木）には，「感染対策期」に移行することが，昨日（４／６）の愛媛県知事会見で発言があり，今後，状況がさらに悪化した場合に備えて，経済活動の一層の縮小，松山市と周辺地域との移動制限なども検討されているようです。新規陽性者数は，国の定める警戒レベル３相当の１週間１０万人あたり１５人を超え（４/４現在１５.４３人），本学が定める特別指定地域に該当する数値となっています。
このような県内，松山市内の感染状況に加え，学内で感染者が出現し，学内で感染拡大の恐れがある場合は，本学のＢＣＰステージを引き上げる可能性があります。ＢＣＰステージの引き上げを避けるためにも、学生，教職員の皆様におかれましては，別添の記載をご確認いただくとともに，学内における活動はもちろん，日常生活においても、これまで以上に感染防御対策を徹底していただくようお願いいたします。
また，体調に異常を感じたら登学・出勤を控えることの徹底をお願いいたします。学内での学生の皆様の学び，教員の教育研究活動，事務系職員の業務などをできる限り通常どおり継続していけるよう，構成員全員で，感染防御にご協力いただきますよう改めてお願いします。
なお，ＰＣＲ検査や抗原検査を受検する場合は，早急に大学に報告いただくこともお願いいたします。

Dear all faculty and students,
Hiroshige Nishina, Ehime University President
I would like to express my gratitude to all students, faculty members, and staff for theircooperation and efforts to date regarding the prevention of the spread of the COVID-19infection.
In Ehime Prefecture, over the past one to two weeks, there have been large-scale clustersof COVID-19 infections caused by dining and drinking at restaurants and bars that are open
late at night in the downtown area of Matsuyama City, and presumably by a mutated strain
that is said to be highly infectious. About 30 new positive cases have been confirmed every
day, and it is said that we are approaching the Spread of Community-Acquired Infections.
The situation has already surpassed the level of third wave and has become so serious thatthe governor of Ehime Prefecture said at a press conference yesterday (April 6) that theprefecture will move into an "infection control phase" on April 8 (Thursday), and inpreparation for a further worsening of the situation, further reduction of economic
activities and restrictions on movement between Matsuyama City and surrounding areas
are being considered. The number of new positive cases has exceeded 15 per 100,000
people per week (15.43 as of April 4), which is equivalent to the alert level 3 set by thenational government, and the figure corresponds to the specially designated area set by theuniversity.
In addition to the infection situation in the prefecture and in Matsuyama City, there is apossibility that the BCP stage of the university will be raised if cases of infection appear oncampus and there is a risk of the infection spreading within the university. In order to avoid
raising the BCP stage, we would like to ask all students and faculty members to read theattached information and to take more thorough measures to protect themselves frominfection in their daily lives as well as in their activities on campus.
We also ask that you refrain from coming to school if you feel any abnormalities in your

health. We would like to ask all members of the university community to cooperate with us
in preventing infection so that students can continue their studies, faculty members cancontinue their educational and research activities, and administrative staff can continue
their work as usual.
If you are going to take a PCR test or antigen test, please report to the university as soon
as possible.
