Decided by University of Fukui
Headquarters for COVID-19 Crisis Control
At present, the number of confirmed cases is still increasing nationwide including
Hokkaido, Tokyo or Osaka, and the Go To Travel program is being reviewed in some areas
to prevent the explosive spread of the infection which may cause the collapse of the medicalcare system. Fukui prefecture declared its own warning on November 13th and drewattention to the infection situation and the importance of taking sufficient infection
prevention measures, especially when visiting other prefectures, according to the Citizens’
Action Guidelines.
Moving to/from other prefectures is still something to be very careful about, as indicatedabove. Especially in a university, it is worrisome that group infections may occur because
many students move to/from various areas. Under these circumstances, there could be alarge number of students who are planning to go back home or go on a trip during thewinter break. However, it is expected that, if many people travel across Japan in this coming
winter season, there will be more “3Cs” circumstances, where many people gather becauseof some seasonal events such as Christmas, countdown parties, New Year’s Day, or comingof-age ceremonies.
Based on this, after December 8th, please keep in mind the points below for the time being
in order to minimize the risk of infection:

In addition, do not slander or discriminate against infected persons, those who have close
contact with infected persons, medical personnel, their families, or related parties.
Since the status of COVID-19 is changing globally every day, our measures may change infuture. We will post messages from the President or other notices from the university inaddition to this policy as needed, so please check the university website or student portal
every day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the [Contact Information] at thebottom of this notice. (You should send an e-mail when the university is closed during thewinter break.)
1. Basic Policy(1) Take infection control measures thoroughly, such as by maintaining space between
people by keeping 2 meters apart (or 1 meter at the very least) and by wearing a mask
(coughing etiquette) and hand washing on a regular basis.
(2) Take action keeping “new normal” in mind for preventing situations in which the threefollowing conditions overlap:① Closed spaces with bad ventilation② Crowded places with many people nearby③ Close-contact settings such as close-range conversations
Pay attention especially to the “5 scenes” below which increase the risk because of somelack of attention or effort.

(3) Take action for preventing the 3Cs thoroughly including when you come on campus forface-to-face lectures or extracurricular activities.
(4) When going back to your hometown during the New Year's holidays, pay close attention
to the prevention of infection and avoid contact with people by taking trains that have aplenty of vacant seats, using cars, or avoiding returning home on crowded dates and at
crowded times. On the other hand, according to the government's policy, since there
may be more opportunities to have contact with the elderly (such as grandfathers andgrandmothers) or to eat and drink with someone after returning home, refrain fromhaving contact with anyone outside family members living together under thecircumstances where COVID-19 is spreading.
2. Concrete Measures(1) Daily Precautions○Do not go in and out of places, regardless of whether they are inside or outside theuniversity, with a high infection risk because of crowds of people.
○When having meals with someone, using restaurants which have “Infection
Prevention Drastic Declaration” stickers is recommended. Parties where many
people eat and drink together are prohibited because of the large numbers of clusters
that have been confirmed at other universities.
○Avoid close contact with large numbers of unspecified people, especially kids or theelderly, and do not take actions which make infection follow-up difficult.
○ Make every effort to prevent infectious diseases and stay healthy by practicing good
hand hygiene (hand sanitizer or hand washing) and wearing a mask (coughing
etiquette).
○ Avoid conversations at close range or in a loud voice and maintain space between
people by keeping 2 meters apart (or 1 meter at the very least). When necessary,
wear a mask or a face shield to prevent spitting/spraying as you speak.
