Keidanren has formulated guidelines for companies to continue their business in response to the spread of the new corona infection, but the content is based on the establishment of basic infection control measures such as hand washing and the progress of vaccination. I reviewed it drastically.
Specifically, regarding the wearing of masks, the description that "encourages employees to wear masks during work" has been deleted, and it is said that it is possible to decide whether to wear masks depending on the situation, such as when a sufficient distance from people can be secured. increase.
In addition, the social distance, which required a distance of 2 meters from people, was relaxed from "1 meter to 2 meters", and the description of preparing acrylic boards and transparent curtains was deleted.
In addition, descriptions such as holding meetings and events online, suspending unnecessary and unurgent business trips, and frequently disinfecting doorknobs and handrails have been deleted.
Keidanren has decided to inform member companies and industry groups of such contents in the future, and Yoshihisa Masaki, general manager of the Social Communication Division, decided that "the description can be simplified considering the characteristics of the mutant virus. I would like to narrow down the necessary measures by doing this. "
