This is a notice from the Office for Novel Coronavirus Disease Control, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of Japan
In order to thoroughly prevent the spread of infection at festivals in which foreign residents participate, we have created a multilingual leaflet (18 languages) that summarizes points to keep in mind during events and dinners. In the leaflet, we also posted a link to the telephone consultation desk and information on life support for foreigners.
You can download the leaflets from the website of the Office for Novel Coronavirus Disease Control, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of Japan or from the following.
  • If you are not feeling well, do not attend events and refrain from dining together.
  • Refrain from participating in events and from dining in places where conditions such as closed spaces, crowding and close-contact settings are likely, or where basic infection prevention measures are not thoroughly implemented. In particular, refrain from participating in events or parties where large numbers of people are crowded together and where people are talking loudly.
  • When participating in events and dining together, ensure that appropriate infection prevention measures are taken, such keeping appropriate distance from other people, sanitizing your hands and fingers, wearing masks, and refraining from talking loudly.
  • Refrain as much as possible from participating in events on the streets or in restaurants that involve consuming alcohol in larger quantities or late at night, while taking into consideration the religious and cultural characteristics of such events.
  • Consider new ways of enjoying yourself, such as spending time at home with your family or participating in online events, depending on your needs.
  • If you suspecting that you have been infected with the novel coronavirus and have questions about receiving a medical examination, etc. call the consultation service of the local government in the area where you live.
