As the position of COVID-19 infection under the Infectious Diseases Law will be reviewed on May 8, 2023 as Class 5 infectious diseases, in the open space for parents and children, from May 8, 2023, the basic principle is to respect independent choices regarding infection control measures in daily life and leave them to the judgment of individuals and businesses.
Please note that depending on the judgment of each facility, we may carry out the project while taking measures to prevent the spread of infection.
Also, please note that depending on the period when the infection is spreading rapidly, infection control measures may be strengthened.
A To Users
