If you are infected with the Novel Coronavirus Infectious Disease (COVID-19)
If you are infected with COVID-19, please report it to the status confirmation desk of your university or Women’s College and stay at home. After the medical treatment period indicated by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, you will be able to resume your normal routine.
For symptomatic patients, the quarantine period is "7 days from the date of confirmation and 24 hours after symptoms have abated, so quarantine will end from the 8th day". However, until 10 days have elapsed, the risk of infection will remain, so please take voluntary infection prevention actions. In the case of asymptomatic patients, "if 7 days have passed since the date of specimen collection, quarantine can end on the 8th day". In addition, "If on the 5th day, the test with the test kit is negative, quarantine will end after 5 days (on day 6)". However, the risk of infection will remain until 7 days have passed, so please take voluntary infection prevention actions.

If you were in close contact with someone who was infected
If you were in close contact, such as if a family member living with you has contracted the coronavirus, please report it to the status confirmation desk of the university or Women’s College and refrain from entering the campus. During the period indicated by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, you will be quarantined at home.
The home quarantine period is 5 days from the last exposure date (contact with a positive person, etc.). However, if a negative result using an approved pharmaceutical-qualitative antigen test kit is confirmed on the second and third day, the quarantine waiting period will end on the third day.
