[To all NU students and staff] Request for Thorough Effort to Prevent Further Spread of the Novel Coronavirus Infectious Disease (Notification from the President)

Jan 11 2022

Considering a steep surge in Covid-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant throughout Japan, and the fact that Niigata Prefecture has issued a State of Warning independently, I would like to seek continued cooperation from all NU students, faculty, and staff members to take extra caution on the following, and ask you all to take thorough control measures to prevent further spread of infection.

  1. Please continue to make sure to take basic preventive measures such as wearing a mask and disinfecting your fingers and hands.
  2. If you notice any changes in your health condition, such as having a fever and feeling unwell, please refrain from coming to the university or participating in extracurricular activities, and be sure to visit a medical institution as soon as possible.
  3. Take utmost caution and measures to prevent further spread of infection when you move in and out of Niigata prefecture, including when returning home or making a trip, and try to grasp the situation of infection in the destination. Refrain from traveling to and from other prefectures that are under a quasi-state of emergency as much as possible.
  4. When you participate in events with a large number of people and/or hold social gathering with food and drinks, please get tested first either at Niigata Vaccine-Test Package Centers or drugstores before the event.
  5. When having a gathering party, please attend it for the shortest possible time with the limited number of people as much as possible, and take thorough measures to prevent further spread of the infection. When eating out, please use the restaurants which take thorough preventive measures against COVID-19, and be alert to the increased risk of infection, especially when dining together with your classmates and colleagues, or drink together in the same room including dormitories and apartment buildings.

All information including relevant notifications and guidelines regarding the control measures against COVID-19 is posted on "Information Regarding the Novel Coronavirus."

I encourage you all to refer to the websites.
