Regarding Measures for the Prevention of Covid-19 Infection When Attending Classes
To prevent the spread of Covid-19 infections, messages from the President have urged all students
to take action to minimize the risk of infection to themselves and others by avoiding the three Cs(closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings).
For an enjoyable campus life with peace of mind, we ask that you take the following
preventive measures from April 1, 2023.

○ Basic guidelines
As measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infections, continue to avoid the three Cs,
maintain physical distancing, use hand sanitizer, and help ensure adequate ventilation. Follow
these measures both on and off campus.
Mask-wearing is essentially at your own discretion, but we ask that you follow any special
instructions from the University or other authorities if infections are spreading or
exceptions must be made for classes, research, or training.
After classes and other activities, avoid eating with others, and return home as soon as
possible.

Monitoring your health(1) Careful health monitoring, including daily morning temperature checks① Take your own temperature every morning and enter your physical condition in the Health
Check Sheet (Excel file, attachment 1).
(You can also enter and save your health information in the Health Diary (Kenko Nikki) app
available separately from app stores, for which the University is a registered healthadministrator. If you will use the app, be sure to refer to this page.)・ In addition to the Health Check Sheet mentioned above, also record your routine activities
referring to Recent Personal Activities (attachment 2).
・ If you later become infected with Covid-19 or are identified as a potential close contact ofsomeone infected, the University may need to ask you to submit data from your Health
Check Sheet or Recent Personal Activities to check the course of events.
