Niigata University has requested cooperation to take thorough prevention and control measures against the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19). I would like to seek continued cooperation from all NU students, faculty, and staff members to take extra caution on the following, and ask you all to take thorough control measures to prevent further spread of infection.

1. Avoid "Three Cs": Closed spaces with poor ventilation, Crowded places with many people nearby, and Close-contact settings such as close-range conversations.
2. If you notice any changes in your health condition, such as having a fever and feeling unwell, please refrain from coming to the university or participating in extracurricular activities, and be sure to visit a medical institution as soon as possible.
3. Take utmost caution and measures to prevent further spread of infection when you move in and out of Niigata prefecture, including when returning home or making a trip, and try to grasp the situation of infection in the destination. Refrain from close contact with unspecified people coming from outside the prefecture, and limit the number of people when you travel in a group of multiple people.
4. Refrain from holding social gathering with food and drinks as much as possible. When having a gathering party, please attend it for the shortest possible time with the limited number of people as much as possible, and take measures to prevent further spread of infection. Please be alert to the increased risk of infection, especially when dining together with your classmates and colleagues, or drink together in the same room including dormitories and apartment buildings.

All information including relevant notifications and guidelines regarding the control measures against COVID-19 is posted on "Information Regarding the Novel Coronavirus." I encourage you all to refer to the website.
