• You may use only the classrooms allotted for your classes.
• For the face-to-face classes, classrooms are allotted considering the social distance and number of seats separated at a distance wider than the normal classroom test seats (about one-third of the normal classroom capacity). Also, classrooms are allotted to avoid overcrowding at the beginning and ending of classes, using different floors, and avoiding consecutive use of the same classroom.
• Please give instructions to the students to sit at a distance (about 2m, at least 1m) away from each other and avoid face-to-face seats.
• For each classroom, a seating chart is pasted for sitting at least 1m away from seats in the front or back or both sides. Please use the chart for giving seating instructions to the students.
• If classwork requires practical work, exercise or talking, please take preventive measures such as a small number class, keeping distance from each other, wearing face shields as needed, to minimalize the spread of infection. Please make the utmost efforts to avoid activities that require much contact at close distance and talking face-to-face.
• Please keep the doors of the classroom open whenever possible and open windows for ventilation for 10 minutes every hour.
• If you notice any student who seems to feel ill, or the student tells you so, please notify the Health Center (03-3238-3394) immediately.
• We will disinfect microphones before each class. When your class is over, please do not return the microphones to the battery charger but leave them outside so that it is clear the microphones have been used.
• If students test positive to COVID-19 or are identified as close contact person by public health center, their “attendance is suspended” according to School Health and Safety Act. Also, similarly, your consideration will be appreciated to avoid any disadvantage for your students who notify you they will be absent from classes due to poor health conditions or attend online classes to avoid the spread of infection.

(3) Campus exit

• When your classes are over, please tell your students to leave the classroom and the campus and advise them to go home promptly. Please try to leave your classroom after you have made sure all students have left the classroom. We thank you for your cooperation.
