To all students, faculty, and staff

The government considers extending the state of emergency to be declared for Tokyo and other Prefectures and the semi-emergency coronavirus spread prevention measures for the three Prefectures of the Metropolitan areas including Saitama. In response to this, we have decided to take the measures as below.

In the future, we will make a decision promptly when there is an occasion, in which we will have to consider altering the restriction level as we comprehensively review the tendency of the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the Metropolitan areas, the requests from MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), local governments or society.

Restriction Level: 3 <Currently 3 (Refer to the chart below)>

Period: June 2 to June 22
