One week has passed since the state of emergency was lifted nationwide on October 10st.As of 1:1 on the 6th, the number of new coronavirus infections has decreased to 10 nationwide and 980 in Hyogo Prefecture, a decrease of more than 76% compared to a week ago nationwide.
Started on February 9th10 days have passed since the fall semester classes, but fortunately there have been no new infections at our university.Thanks to everyone's cooperation in preventing the spread of infection, we are relieved to be in this situation.
XNUMX.Current status of vaccinationAbout (as of 10:6 on October 19)
Prior to the resumption of face-to-face classes, we conducted a survey of the health and vaccination status of students, faculty and staff, and we were able to confirm 100% of them last night.
Looking at the results,28% of all students have already completed 2 doses of vaccinations, and 1% of students who have already started vaccination activities, such as those who have had their 1st dose and 79.3 appointment.As a result, vaccination rates have steadily increased.In addition, 1.6% of students have been judged not to be vaccinated under the guidance of doctors, and we will respect that judgment for these students.
In addition, according to the information of each local government, it is said that the vaccination ticket has already been sent, and students who answered that they have not received the vaccination ticket will check again, and if they cannot find it, they will be asked to reissue it. need to do it.
For students who have not yet made a reservation,In Hyogo Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, you can definitely make an appointment at a wide-area vaccination venue, and in Osaka City, you can get vaccinated on the same day without making an appointment.So I request you to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
XNUMX.To everyone who has not been vaccinated
The new corona virus misfortune is not over.Experts predict that a rebound expansion or a sixth wave will occur, and we are worried about a re-expansion toward winter.
On the other hand, looking at the status of the government's demonstration experiment of easing restrictions on movement,If you do not have a certificate of vaccination or a negative certificate, you are not eligible for preferential treatment, and on the contrary, you may be subject to regulation. It seems that the presence or absence of it has a large effect.
Regarding learningIt is expected that there will be an increase in the number of cases where students will be required to submit a certificate of vaccination or a negative certificate from their internship or internship, and that they will be required to confirm that they have tested negative by taking a PCR test (at their own expense). As a university, we have no choice but to respond to these requests from outside the university.
Regarding global research, exchange programs, and global studies that involve traveling abroad, we have no choice but to comply with the requests of the partner country and the host university.It is expected that the number of cases where non-vaccinated people will not be allowed to enter the United States and other countries will continue to increase.in such a situationIt is becoming virtually impossible for unvaccinated students to travel abroad.
Students who do not want to be vaccinated need to consider the disadvantages they will suffer due to these regulations and conditions.
XNUMX.On-campus support
At the Crisis Response Headquarters meeting on October 10,Regarding extracurricular activities such as clubs, we have confirmed that we will allow the resumption of activities from groups that have confirmed infection prevention measures, and we have confirmed that the time spent on campus will be relaxed by 19:30.Vaccines are not required to participate in extracurricular activities.
We have often asked students to take thorough infection prevention measures, and with everyone's cooperation,So far, there have been no outbreaks or clusters of infected people in classes.We believe that face-to-face classes and extracurricular activities will be possible in principle by taking all possible measures to prevent infection.
However,If a cluster occurs on campus in the future, there will be a situation where we will be forced to adopt stricter participation conditions and restrictions that are required outside the university.
In order to further prevent infection, please check your health before coming to school, and if you feel unwell, please do not come to school and report it to the infirmary and participate remotely.
Everyone, while paying close attention to infection prevention, let's work together to maintain a campus life where you can meet and talk face-to-face with friends and faculty.
