As the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) continues to spread throughout the country, Nagoya University has established the following university-wide guidelines covering a wide array of activities and operations. These guidelines are intended to provide a set of appropriate, flexible standards allowing Nagoya University members to take part in activities according to the demands of the present circumstances. The activities taking place at Nagoya University are many and varied, but we ask each department to refer to these guidelines and take action in a proactive and independent manner. In addition, all faculty and staff should take care to avoid the Three Cs, wash their hands, wear a mask, and observe cough etiquette in their daily lives. Moreover, avoid gathering with large numbers of people and for extended periods of time.
These guidelines are divided into two sections.
The first is a university-wide alert system. The following three categories will be used to indicate in general the emergency response situation at Nagoya University:
Category A: Caution
Category B: High Alert
Category C: Emergency
Furthermore, we have adopted specific activity guidelines based on the Activity Criteria system created by Osaka University in response to the state of emergency declaration in Osaka Prefecture. The activities referenced in these guidelines include educational activities (lectures/seminars and experiments/practical training), faculty and research activities, administrative work, meetings within the university, events and gatherings, entrance restrictions for students, entrance restrictions for non-University members, extracurricular activities, and domestic business and private travel.
These guidelines apply to the entire Nagoya University except for medical activities at Nagoya University Hospital.
Due to the rapidly changing situation, Alert Categories and Levels may change. Please check the website every day for the latest updates.
