Kansai International University President
Atsushi Hamana
This is Hamana, the president of the university.It seems that the cold is not as severe as usual, but we are approaching the end of November and there is less than a month left of classes for the rest of the year. In the two months since the end of September, thanks to everyone's cooperation and efforts, there has been only one infected person from the campus so far, and we are fortunate that no clusters have occurred on campus.Thanks to that, I was able to maintain learning opportunities in face-to-face classes.
However, unfortunately, the third wave of COVID-3 is definitely happening, and we are seriously aware that depending on how we spend the next three weeks, there is a growing risk of clusters occurring on campus.
Increased risk of infection.
Shigeru Omi, chairman of the government's new coronavirus infectious disease countermeasures subcommittee, said, "Even if you take measures to prevent infection, there is no sign of convergence. He also warned that ``the density of the virus is increasing, and the infection cannot be brought down only by changing people's behavior.''
The spread of infection in the metropolitan areas represented by Sapporo and Osaka has already entered Stage 3, which is said to be on the verge of a medical crisis.I ask all of you to pay more attention to your actions than ever before.
Once again, everyone's awareness and cooperation have become even more important.
Specifically, off-campus, consider the risk of infection and refrain from (XNUMX) social gatherings involving drinking, (XNUMX) eating and drinking in large numbers or for long periods of time, and (XNUMX) talking without a mask.
On campus, it is of course more important than ever to check your body temperature, disinfect your hands, and wear a mask when you enter the campus. (3) Avoid long conversations in unventilated classrooms, etc. (XNUMX) Install COCOA from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare when entering the campus. Please be more thorough.
COCOA is extremely important to protect yourself and your friends.
Regarding ④ COCOA, we have asked everyone to install it in order to quickly identify close contacts when an infected person occurs. We will submit the action record to all of them and have them receive a hearing.There may be cases where you have a smartphone that cannot be installed, but please understand that such measures will be taken for the safety of other students.
First of all, let's work together to get through the next month so that everyone can safely lead a student life and enter the winter vacation.
Everyone's awareness and cooperation are essential in order to protect the studies of everyone who is important to you!
