Response when an infected person is detected
Not only during the program, there is always the possibility that teachers, students, international students, and Tomonokai staff will be infected and the source of the infection cannot be identified.
When a new coronavirus infection is confirmed, we will immediately notify all concerned parties who may be affected and take measures to prevent infection.
When an infection occurs in a student, teacher, or school, we request immediate information sharing and response.
In the unlikely event that an infected person or a close contact person is detected, we will closely cooperate with each other, seek guidance from an appropriate institution, and take pertinent measures.
