Measures to Prevent COVID-19 Infections -Protecting Yourself and Everyone on Campus- (April 1, 2022 edition) Please follow the infection prevention measures listed below as described in the preceding PDF.
1) Do not come to campus if you feel unwell and have a fever or other symptoms reminiscent of COVID-19.
2) Minimize "close contact" activities with high risk of infection as much as possible.
2.1) Wear non-woven masks with high droplet control that appropriately cover both one's mouth and nose as they are fundamental to avoiding close contact transmission.
2.2) You should consider "close contact" to be any interaction in which a person converses or stands within arm's length (approx. 1 meter) while not wearing a mask or is wearing their mask incorrectly by having their nose uncovered, etc.
2.3) Make an effort to eat in silence with renewed awareness that removing masks in order to eat is a high-risk scenario for spreading infection.
- Consider conversations while dining as constituting close contact even if dining partitions have been set up.
- Consider situations when you dine at a table without partitions as constituting close contact, even if those involved refrain from conversation.
2.4) Consider interactions in which those involved are talking loudly at shoulder-to-shoulder distances, as constituting close contact even if everyone involved is wearing masks.
2.5) Consider significant durations of time spent in confined spaces or speaking face-to-face with others, as constituting close contact, even if everyone wears a mask.
3) If you are in situations that can be considered as constituting close contact, make a note of who was involved so that you are able to get in contact with them immediately should someone test positive for COVID-19.
