About the idea of the observation period of close contacts

Dear Students

Risk Management Headquarters
(for COVID-19 Infection Control)
University of the Ryukyus

The University made the notification about change in contact method and contact structure on January 13 on the university website.  On January 15, the Okinawa Prefectural Government indicated the concept of “observation period of close contacts”.

Since the period of staying home for observation was shortened, all close contacts are requested to stay home for 10 days and the period will end on the 11th day.  No test will be required at the end of the period.  For details, please access the following website.
