RE: Compliance with the Response Period to Prevent the Spread of Infection and Continue Socio-Economic Activities (Okinawa Prefecture Response Policy)

April 28, 2022

To Students, Faculty and Staff Members:

Risk Management Headquarters (for COVID-19 Infection Control)

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of you for your understanding and cooperation to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Government of Okinawa Prefecture has announced its request for the period from Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 22 for a response period to prevent the spread of the infection and to continue socio-economic activities (Okinawa Prefecture Response Policy)(in Japanese), and we ask you to check it and comply with the policy.

The purpose of the Government of Okinawa’s request is, with paying special attention to how to spend the Golden Week, to prevent the spread of infection after the holidays so as to continue socio-economic activities (it should be studying and educational and research activities in the University).

The request is not as strong measures as Semi-emergency Coronavirus Spread Prevention Measures, but it is very important that each and everyone of us be conscious of preventing the spread of the virus and should take counter measures. We ask all students and faculty and staff members to be highly aware of the importance of counter measures against the coronavirus, and those who travel to and from the outside Okinawa or neighboring islands must take special care of daily health conditions, get a booster shot of coronavirus vaccination or PCR-test, and keep updated yourself on regional information where you travel in advance.

If you get a fever, become a close contact, or are asymptomatic but concerned about being infected during the Golden Week, please check the following websites.
