Precautions for the Summer Holiday
As we enter the summer vacation, you will probably encounter many situations in which you feel less constrained. However, COVID19 infections have been spreading rapidly nationwide since the start of this month.
I would therefore like to disseminate and draw your attention to the following points once again. Long holidays are a special time,and I hope you will have a productive summer holiday by spending it safely and in good health.

1. Health management
During the summer holiday, all students should take good care of their health and implement basic measuresagainst infection. Please avoid nonessential social gatherings and dining in groups, even with only small
numbers of people.
Due to the spread of infections, it seems to be taking a long time for patients to be accepted to accommodation
facilities for recuperation. Minato City and other municipalities are announcing vaccination drives as a measureagainst infections. Vaccination can prevent the development of symptoms or severe illness and relieve pressure
on local medical systems. Please actively consider getting vaccinated if you are not yet vaccinated or receiving
your third vaccination if you have been vaccinated twice.

Please avoid going on campus and consult a medical institution if you have a fever of 37.5°C or higher andsymptoms such as a cough, sore throat, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, and muscle or joint pain. If you become

2. Voluntarily refraining from travel, hometown visits, dining in groups, etc.
①

If you will be traveling or visiting your hometown, please take good care of your health and try to meet ordine with other people as little as possible while there.
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is critical to take steps such as reducing your social contacts
and minimizing travel.

3. For students traveling abroad
When considering travel abroad, please thoroughly read “Notice to Students Considering Travel Abroad (July13, 2022)” as well as “Six Requirements before Traveling Abroad” and decide carefully based on various
perspectives such as whether or not your destination country or region meets the criteria set by theuniversity, whether or not safety can be ensured there, and whether or not you can comply with bordercontrol measures upon returning to Japan.

5. Precautions for using social media such as Twitter and to avoid becoming involved in criminal
activity
Most of you probably use social media such as Facebook and Twitter or blogs. However, content that you poston the internet is published to the entire world.
If the content is reproduced or spread, it will remain online for a long time and may lead to problems. Individuals
may be identified based on pictures posted, leading to baseless defamation or becoming the target of a so-called“internet mob.” Please be very careful when posting pictures or videos on the internet including to social
media, such as by not posting personal information, not posting pictures of people without their consent, orediting pictures so that individuals appearing in them cannot be identified.

There are also worries regarding a growing number of cases of accidental involvement in criminal activity via
incitement to engage in illicit moneymaking activities such as fraud. If you are recruited for activities purported
to be “part-time work” through means such as social media, email, flyers, or offers from friends oracquaintances, be sure to stringently verify the source and accuracy of the information so that you do not
become involved in criminal activity.
