Class Policy for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 Infection (Edited on June 16th)
April 1st, 2020
Edited on June 2nd, 2020
Edited on June 16th 2020
Decided by University of Fukui
Headquarters for COVID-19 Crisis Control

Since classes for the spring semester (including exams) are basically all conducted via theInternet, students should join them from at home. It is possible to conduct classes such as
experiments or practical training, which are difficult to do through distance learning, oncampus with sufficient consideration for infection risks by avoiding the 3Cs and providing
sufficient ventilation depending on the situation at each school and graduate school.
Decentralization of classes, or changing the class semester, will also be considered to reduce
the risk. Regarding exams, the same rule is applied when it is difficult to do via the Internet.
The detailed method of conducting classes is as follows.
In case you travel to Fukui prefecture from Hokkaido, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa,or Fukuoka, you should come to school while managing your health condition for two weeks
after entering Fukui for the time being after 19th June.
This policy may be revised depending on the future infection condition.
(The method of conducting experiments and trainings)
1. Preventing 3Cs(1) Preventing “Closed Spaces” (Thorough Ventilation)○When a ventilating fan is installed in an experiment room, let it run all the time.
○Provide ventilation in an experiment room all the time during the class if possible.
If it is difficult, open windows on 2 sides at the same time (for more than a few
minutes, every 30 minutes).
○For experiment rooms with no windows, try your best to provide ventilation bykeeping doors open all the time or using ventilating fans.
○Since air conditioners only circulate the air inside the room and do not have any
functions as ventilators, provide appropriate ventilation even when using airconditioners.
(2) Preventing “Crowded Spaces” (Securing Physical Distance)○In an experiment room, maintain space between students by keeping 2 metersapart (or 1 meter at the very least) (e.g. Sitting every-other-seat)(3) Preventing “Close-Contact Setting” (Wearing Masks)○Class instructors and students should basically wear masks all the time. When it isdetermined that there is a high probability of a health hazard such as heatstroke,students may remove masks, as long as appropriate ventilation is provided and thespace between students is sufficient. Although wearing of masks is not required in
PE classes, please refer to the administrative notices “Necessity of wearing masks
in PE classes at school” by MEXT, issued on 21st May 2020, for the necessary items
to consider.
2. Other Notes○Class instructors and students should wash hands with soap or alcohol disinfectant
at the time of entry and exit of an experiment room.
○Class instructors should communicate the following points when they start class.
①Check studentsʼ results of their morning temperature check and see if any
students have any cold symptoms, such as fever, cough, or general malaise. If so,
instructors should tell the student to stay home and also guide him/her tocontact the related sections (Student Affairs Division, Academic Affairs
Division on Matsuoka campus, or Administration division on Tsuruga campus)by e-mail or phone and follow the directions.
②Tell students not to have unnecessary conversations during the class.
○When students have to share some tools or instruments, appropriate disinfection orhand washing should be done before and after use.
○Consideration should be given to avoid any disadvantage of credit approval, byconducting make-up classes, exams or giving extra assignments, to a student when
he/she is infected or asked to stay home because of having close contact with
infected people or having any cold symptoms, such as fever, cough, or generalmalaise.
○When there is a student with a high risk of serious illness due to respiratoryproblems or underlying health conditions, instructors will tell the student toconsult with his/her doctor, the student consultation office, and/or the HealthAdministration Center before he/she is enrolled in classes. If it is determined thatthe student is not able to attend the school due to these reasons, consideration
should be given to avoid any disadvantages of credit approval, such as the use ofdistance learning or giving extra assignments.
○As for instructors, in case there are any cold symptoms, such as fever, cough, orgeneral malaise, do not hesitate to stay home and contact students and the related
section (Student Affairs Division, Academic Affairs Division on Matsuoka campus,
or Administration division on Tsuruga campus).
