Don't discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated!
Although it is a new coronavirus vaccine that is expected to be effective for the convergence of the new coronavirus infection, vaccination is not compulsory and is optional. There are various reasons, such as those who do not receive the vaccination due to illness or allergies, and each of them should be respected.
For those who have not been vaccinated, do not enforce or discriminating vaccinations, unfairness or disadvantageous treatment in schools and workplaces.
Let's stop discrimination related to COVID-19 infection!
Eliminate discrimination, prejudice, and heartless behavior!
With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, anxiety and fears of infection have led to the infected people and their families, as well as medical professionals.
There is a prejudice against foreigners living in Japan, as well as businesses, facilities, and stores that support our daily lives.
Discrimination and slander has been made. In addition, malicious writing and heartfelt behavior on the Internet can be seen.
Even if symptoms of suspected infection occur after successively, we will provide consultation for tests and provide accurate behavioral history and information on close contacts to public health centers.
There is also a possibility that the prevention of the spread of infection may be hindered, such as some people hesitate.
Discrimination and slander is never tolerated, and please do not make such heartfelt behavior.
In addition, acts that condemns or identifying infected persons, posting personal information on the Internet and SNS, and unnecessarily disclose this information.
Please be careful not to spread it.
Responsiveness based on the right knowledge!
A wide variety of information on COVID-19 infections is posted in various media, but some may differ from uncertain information and facts.
We ask that you take a calm action that takes into account 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 fear of a virus that cannot be seen, but it is important that each of us has a heart that cares for each other and support each other.
The person to be confronted is a virus, not a person.
Let's do what we can do now from each standpoint!
