Hand hygiene

- Use alcohol disinfection regularly.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth without washing your hands.
Cough etiquette
- Wear a mask properly (in the appropriate manner to cover your nose and mouth.)
- If you don't have a mask, instead of using your hands to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze use a handkerchief or your sleeves.
Going out
- Refrain from going out unless unavoidable.
- Avoid crowds
- Wash your hands, gargle and disinfect your items with alcohol on your return.
Ventilation
- Let some air in and make sure there is proper ventilation in your room.

Overcoming COVID-19
Let us introduce some examples of our studies and initiatives we have done to overcome the current situation with the novel coronavirus.
Professor Yutaka Arakawa and Assistant Professor Shigemi Ishida from the HumanoPhilic Systems Lab at ISEE, along with the Center of Coevolutionary Research for Sustainable Communities have developed a new system called “itocon” for the New Lifestyle that gives you information about congestion at bus stops to make students’ and faculty members’ staggered commuting easier to the Ito campus.

To overcome the global crisis caused by COVID-19, design innovation is necessary. The SDGs Design International Awards 2020 is focusing on solutions for issues related to the pandemic and will recognize outstanding ideas collected from students all over the world.
