Response Plan at Alert Level 1 Updated
What We Must Do Now to Help Prevent the Spread of COVID-19
Alert Level 1 (Restriction – Low Level)
The March 28 meeting of the Hokkaido University COVID-19 Task Force took the decision that the University moves its Alert Level to Level 1 (restriction – low level) prescribed in the Response Plan of the Hokkaido University Business Continuity Plan During Coronavirus Outbreak (BCP) as of April 1st.
Decision Context for Alert Level 1:
– In Hokkaido, the increase in the number of cases caused by the Omicron and other variants has been finally halted, and the trend of decrease is becoming more evident as the number of new cases in the prefecture has been mostly in the range of 1,000 per day.
– Nationwide, the pre-emergency priority measures, which had been in effect until March 21st in 18 prefectures including Hokkaido, have been lifted in all prefectures, and the number of cases continues to decline.
– The University has not experienced a spread of infections among its employees.
Considering all the above, the University has resolved to move its Alert Level from Level 2 (restriction – medium level) to Level 1 (restriction – low level) prescribed in the Hokkaido University Business Continuity Plan During Coronavirus Outbreak (BCP) as of April 1st.
The COVID-19 Task Force will continually review its alert level based on its assessment of preventive measures taken by the Government of Japan and the Hokkaido Government and the number of confirmed cases.
We ask every member of the University community to continue efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and help maintain operations of the University by following the instructions in our BCP and other guidelines. Please act with empathy and remain calm while respecting human rights and the protection of private information in order to prevent biases and discrimination against COVID-19 patients and their families.
