[Notice] Response for COVID-19 infection on or after May 8,2023．
To all faculty staff members and students
April 25, 2023
President Kazuhiko Terashima
[Notice] Response for COVID-19 infection on or after May 8,2023
From May 8, the status of COVID-19 infection will be changed from "new-type influenza and other infectious diseases" to "Class 5 infectious diseases," the same as ordinary influenza, etc. under the Infectious Diseases Control Law. As for basic infection control measures in daily life after May 8, as with the wearing of masks, we respect independent choice and leave it to the judgment of individuals and businesses. The government will not uniformly require these measures. "The government Headquarters for Countermeasures against the COVID-19", "prefectural Headquarters for Countermeasures against the COVID-19" and " Measures to be taken based on the basic response policy" will be abolished.
In consideration of these circumstances, we ask for your cooperation in responding to the COVID-19 infections on and after May 8 as follows, referring to the information provided by the government.
Note
1.Voluntary infection control measures that individuals and businesses should take on and after May 8 are as follows.
・Avoiding 3Cs (1.Closed spaces with poor ventilation 2.Crowded places with many people nearby,3.Close-contact settings such as close-range conversations.)
・Keeping distance
・Washing your hand
・Ventilation
Basic infection control measures that have been taken so far are considered effective.So, the University's activity standard level will be kept Level 1 on and after May 8 for a while.
The "new lifestyle" proposed by the government's expert panel in May 2020 was revised because it included items that are not necessarily appropriate for current infection control measures.Therefore, some changes have been made to the description of the University's activity standard, including the deletion of the relevant wording.
■The University's activity standard
2．Regarding the current " How to respond to symptoms of Covid-19 and the flow of contact to the university," from May 8 onward, persons who are positive for COVID-19 infection will be treated in the same way as persons with ordinary influenza infection, and since there will no longer be any measures for persons with close contacts, we will not treat persons with COVID-19 infection in a special way.
If you have any symptoms or feel unwell, please visit a medical institution and contact the TUT Health Care Center. In addition, please refrain from attending school or traveling and stay at home to recuperate during that period.
■The flow of contact to the university in the event of unwell etc.
3．Regardless of the above, depending on the time of year and the situation, such as rapid spread of infection due to COVID-19 infection or frequent contact with persons at high risk of severe illness ,measures to prevent the spread of infection may be taken, such as activity restrictions.
