Decided by University of Fukui
Headquarters for COVID-19 Crisis Control

Regarding classes (including exams), although lectures and seminars are basically all
conducted via the Internet, face-to-face lectures are also available depending on the situation
at each school or the class content. Regarding experiments or practical training, face-to-facelectures are available. When a face-to-face class is conducted, sufficient consideration forinfection risks should be given by avoiding the 3Cs and providing sufficient ventilation. The
detailed method of conducting classes is as follows.
When a student moves to Fukui prefecture from Warning Areas, where large spreads ofinfections are occurring, including Tokyo and Osaka (see the Fukui Prefecture website blow
for more information), to take face-to-face lectures for the fall semester (beginning Oct 1st)
according to the instruction from each school, he/she needs to complete moving to Fukui 2
weeks before the class starts. He/she has to refrain from going out and try to manage his/herhealth condition during the period. However, students who live in neighboring prefectures
can go to the university as long as they check their health condition carefully every day.

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 everyday.
(The method of conducting face-to-face lectures)
1. Preventing 3Cs(1) Preventing “Closed Spaces” (Thorough Ventilation)○When a ventilating fan is installed in a lecture room or an experiment room, let it
run all the time.

○Provide ventilation in a lecture room or an experiment room all the time during theclass if possible. If it is difficult, open windows on 2 sides at the same time (for morethan a few minutes, every 30 minutes).
○For lecture rooms or experiment rooms with no windows, try your best to provide
ventilation by keeping doors open all the time or using ventilating fans (electric fansor circulators).
○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 a lecture room or an experiment room, maintain space between students bykeeping 2 meters apart (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 and wear faceshields as well if necessary. When it is determined that there is a high probability ofa health hazard such as heatstroke, students may remove masks, as long as
appropriate ventilation is provided and the space between students is sufficient.
Although wearing of masks is not required in PE classes, please refer to theadministrative notices “Necessity of wearing masks in PE classes at school” byMEXT, issued on 21st May 2020, for the necessary items to consider.
2. Other Notes○Class instructors and students should wash hands with soap and running water or
alcohol disinfectant at the time of entry and exit of a lecture room or an experimentroom.
○Class instructors should communicate the following points when they start class.
①Check students’ 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 to contact
the related sections (Student Affairs Division, Academic Affairs Division onMatsuoka campus, or Administration division on Tsuruga campus) by e-mail orphone 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 or
hand washing with soap and running water 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 respiratory problems
or underlying health conditions, instructors will tell the student to consult withhis/her doctor, the student consultation office, and/or the Health Administration
Center before he/she is enrolled in classes. If it is determined that the student is notable to attend the school due to these reasons, consideration should be given to avoid
any disadvantages of credit approval, such as the use of distance 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).
