To Kyushu University Students, Faculty, and Staff:
Kyushu University is working to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection by establishing a guidance based on national and prefectural policies. The guidance is to protect the lives and health of all members from the threat of COVID-19, and to ensure safety and reliability in education and academic research.
Fukuoka Prefecture has lifted the "Period for Preventing the Re-Spread of Infection" on April 7, but the number of new infections in the prefecture is showing an increasing trend. As a result, the "Fukuoka Corona Alert" will remain in effect for a while.
The number of new cases in Kyushu University has also been gradually increasing, and many cases are thought to have been infected in the occasions of group meals (multiple people gathering to eat, drink, and converse together) and traveling.
At the start of the new academic year, the guidance level will be eased to "1.5 (Partial Restrictions)", however, the University will call for thorough implementation of basic measures to prevent the rebound of infection.
Please observe the following rules especially in the occasions of group meals.
<Major restrictions>
Recently, 10 to 20 new infections have been reported per day within Kyushu University, while 2,000 to 3,000 daily tally in Fukuoka Prefecture.
In addition to thorough daily infection control measures, the third dose of vaccination is an effective means of preventing infection and serious illness.
It is highly appreciated and meaningful for all students, faculty and staff to continue to take thorough measures to prevent infection.
For those who have not received the third dose of vaccination, please consider the vaccinations offered by the local government.
