Don't discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated!
It is a new coronavirus vaccine that is expected to be effective for the convergence of the new coronavirus infection, but vaccination is not compulsory and is optional. There are various reasons for those who do not receive the vaccination, such as those who cannot be vaccinated due to illness or allergies, and each of them should be respected.
We ask that those who have not been vaccinated do not be forced or discriminated against, unfair or disadvantageous treatment in schools and workplaces.
Let's stop discrimination related to COVID-19!
Eliminate discrimination, prejudice, and heartless behavior!
In the midst of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, due to concerns and fears about the infection, including those infected and their families, healthcare professionals, etc.
There is prejudice against foreigners living in Japan, as well as businesses, facilities, and stores that support our daily lives.
Discrimination and slander have been made. In addition, you can see malicious writing on the Internet and unhearted behavior.
Even if symptoms of suspected infection occur one after another, consultation for examinations, accurate behavioral history to public health centers, and information on close contacts should be provided.
There is a risk that the prevention of the spread of infection will be hindered, such as those who hesitate to appear.
Discrimination and slander are never tolerated, and we ask that you do not do such unintentional behavior.
In addition, acts that condemn or identify infected persons, posting personal information on the Internet and SNS, and unnecessarily disseminating such information.
Please do not spread it.
A calm response based on the right knowledge!
A wide variety of information about COVID-19 infections is posted in various media, but some may differ from uncertain information or facts.
We ask that you take a calm action with respect to human rights based on the correct information provided by public institutions such as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the city without being misled by such information.
Understand the other person's position and take care of it!
COVID-19 infection is a disease that can be transmitted to anyone. You may feel anxious or afraid of viruses that you cannot see, but it is important for each of us to have a heart to care for each other and support each other.
The person to confront is the virus, not the person.
Let's do what we can do now from each standpoint!
