We have been working on the measures for COVID-19 since last year, and we are still requesting students and faculty members to take careful measures to prevent the spread of infection. Currently, the epidemic of CODIV-19 infectious, which seems to be the third wave, is getting more serious nationwide. Especially in the four prefectures of the Tokyo metropolitan area, a state of emergency has been issued, and the strong self-restraint of activities is required. In fact, the number of infected students and faculty members and suspected cases of close contact is on the increase in the Aobayama area. We traced the movement history of the infected students and found out that some of them had been to several meetings with eating and drinking at the Tokyo metropolitan area, Sendai, and other places where they went on vacation or returned parent's home. I understand that New Year's vacations may have relaxed your mind, that you have been planning the meeting with friends for quite some time, and that you needed to exchange information with your acquaintances, etc. However, the government has declared a state of emergency and the COVID-19 alert level has already been raised. Please take the following measures more thoroughly than ever before until the end of the third wave,

I would like to ask for your cooperation so that we can return to a normal and secure university life as soon as possible.
