Dear students,

Regarding operational guidelines accompanying the issuance of a state of emergency

A "state of emergency" has been issued by the government from July 12 (Mon) to August 22 (Sun) targeting Tokyo where Setagaya Campus is located.
Considering this declaration of emergency does not require a university to close its campuses, and aiming to secure learning opportunities for students, Tokyo NODAI will not close any campuses and will thoroughly implement measures to prevent the spread of infection while we continue providing students with education and research opportunities.
As the stages of the operational guidelines during the “state of emergency” declaration are shown as follows, we would like to ask for your kind cooperation.

1. The "Operational Guidelines for Tokyo NODAI" during the “state of emergency” period are as shown in "Attachment 1".

• Attachment 1

2. For Setagaya Campus, students must leave campus before 19:00 since it is in the target area of the "emergency declaration". The students, faculty members, and staff are strongly encouraged to stay home after 20:00.

3. In principle, students, faculty members, and staff of Setagaya Campus should refrain from nonessential outings and activities under the state of emergency.

4. Atsugi Campus and Hokkaido-Okhotsk Campus are not covered by the "emergency declaration", but the students, faculty members, and staff of both campuses should not only avoid travelling to the target area but also avoid nonessential outings and activities in general during the period.

5. In case that the infection clusters of COVID-19 occur, it will affect the university activities. To keep all university activities and keep all students and faculty staff healthy, please continue your activity to prevent infection. 

Concerning the COVID-19 vaccination at Setagaya Campus and Atsugi Campus, we are applying for MEXT. Depending on the MEXT decision, we may think about the propriety of conducting or change the schedule and the period for the vaccination. Please consider options to get the vaccinations in your town, too.
