ANIC, The Association for Nakano International Communications, is taking countermeasures in the classrooms for its Japanese-language classes.
ANIC has been taking the countermeasures described below (with explanation provided) in each Japanese-language class. They were deployed on the twenty-first of January which is prior to Shunsetsu(the Chinese Spring Festival that occurs from 1/24 through 2/2). ANIC additionally implements this plan for any students new to the classes.
The countermeasures:
Before a student enters a classroom, a student is to be asked if she/he has been abroad recently.
1) Even if no symptoms of vital illness are evident, a student coming from Wuhan or other places in Hubei Province or Zhejiang Province in China– will be asked to come back after two weeks instead of being allowed into the classroom. If the student displays symptoms of vital illness, the student will, additionally, be advised to go to a healthcare facility.
2) In addition to the above policy for those coming from those Chinese provinces, others displaying symptoms will be denied classroom admittance. Attendees who do not have symptoms will be allowed to enter a classroom only after thorough hand sanitization via an antiseptic solution at the entrance. Prior to classroom admittance, a breathing mask provided there must be donned.
