No.1 Alert on new infectious disease caused by a coronavirus (New)
From Health Care Center
The health care center issued the alerts on new infectious disease caused by a coronavirus for 5 times since 29 January 2020. https://health.yamanashi.ac.jp/news
Those alerts were posted on the premise that the disease was not spread in Japan yet. However, the present situation is described as “the beginning of the outbreak in Japan” in the Government’s expert meeting on 16 February.
That is why we renewed the title “No.1 Alert on new infectious disease caused by a coronavirus” from this notice.
On 18 February, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology issued 2 notices, namely “The response toward outbreak among students” and “Actions against the new infectious disease caused by a coronavirus”. The main points are as follows.
・ To keep basic infectious disease protection such as washing hands and wearing a mask.
・To take a rest if you have symptoms like fever.
・ If you are diagnosed as the new infectious disease caused by a coronavirus (hereafter “the infectious disease”) you are not allowed to attend classes.
・Even if you stay in the house due to a common cold, it might be subjected to the suspension of attendance.
The symptoms for suspension of attendance
・Symptoms of a common cold or continuous fever more than 37.5 C for more than 4 days
・Strong lassitude and breathing with difficulty
Once again, we announce that the basic preventive measure against the infectious disease is same to influenza and the common cold. You should wash your hands, put a mask on your face and air ventilation. Disinfection with alcohol is effective too.
We advise you to take trustworthy information regarding the infectious disease. The health care center shall provide you with accurate information.
