Guidelines for Chuo University Students Regarding the Spread of Coronavirus
(Update 16 / March 20)

Chuo University

To prevent the spread of the Coronavirus infection, Chuo University previously published Guidelines for Chuo University Students Regarding the Spread of Coronavirus (Update 15 / September 12), which includes restricting entry to the campuses, the use of facilities, and students’ extracurricular activities. In view of the impact of infection on social life, we have revised the content of the Guidelines from April 1, 2023, onward as follows.

In view of the present social conditions, the University will continue to restrict entry to the campuses, the use of facilities, and students’ extracurricular activities for the time being, with the exception of the following activities:

Entry to the campuses is permitted for the following activities:

         1. Face-to-face classes
         2. Research activities
         3. University-hosted events, courses, briefings, seminars, and guidance sessions
         4. Use of the library, the Career Center, the Honoo-no-Tou Research Building, and other facilities 
         5. Extracurricular activities that have completed the designated procedures

〇 Precautions for entering campuses

         Please observe the following rules when you enter the campuses. If you feel unwell, do not come to the campuses.

         1. Avoid the 3Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, close contact) → Avoid spending time in the 3Cs as much as possible.

         2. Wear a mask → Wearing a mask is basically left to the discretion of each person; however, as an effective measure to prevent
         the spread of infection, during conversations when the 3Cs are unavoidable, we recommend you wear a mask.
        ※However, wearing a mask is not necessary if the following conditions are met:
        ▪ in a gym class or activities involving physical exercise (Unless faculty members or instructors ask you to wear a mask. In which
        case, do so. However, we recommend you wear a mask in changing rooms as it is likely to become a 3C situation.)
        ▪ when temperatures and humidity are high, and wearing masks may affect one’s physical condition.

         3. Handwashing → Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water regularly throughout the day.

         4. Continued health monitoring → Pay attention to your health condition, take your body temperature when you feel unwell, and
         use an antigen test kit approved by the government as necessary. If you have symptoms, the Rules for Permission of Entry to the
         Campus should be followed. 

         5. Pay attention to information on confirmed cases in your living and activity area.
