To Students, Faculty and Staff Members,
Risk Management Headquarters (for COVID-19 infection Control)
University of the Ryukyus
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of you for your understanding and cooperation to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Government of Okinawa Prefecture has announced its request for the period from Friday, May 13 to Thursday, May 26 for a response period to prevent the spread of the infection and to continue socio-economic activities (Okinawa Prefecture Response Policy), and we ask you to check and comply with it.
This request is the revised version of the previous request, which was announced on April 26, 2022, to reduce the risk of infection among the elderly and children and to prevent medical crisis in consideration of the current infection status in the prefecture.
Considering the fact that the number of COVID-19 infection in Okinawa has been over 2,000 for recent days, it is important to take measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 since there is a high risk of getting infected. We ask students, faculty and staff members to prepare for home recuperation, to seek medical care or to get information on contacting the University in advance.
In addition, the COVID-19 infection spread alert has been issued for the mainland Okinawa. It requests particularly for university students and vocational school students to refrain from high-risk activities, such as gathering with friends and eating out. As for extracurricular activities, please pay extra attention for prevention measures of infection as the activities are often conducted in groups.
