In response to the growing number of young coronavirus infections, including students from Kyoto Sangyo University, students from Kyoto City have called on students from all over the country to refrain from welcoming new students.

Mr. Yusuke Kawabata, a third-year student at Kyoto University, and Satoru Aoki, a second-year student at Doshisha University, who are representatives of student organizations operating in Kyoto City, made the call.

Kawabata and his colleagues visited Kyoto City Office on the 1st and read a message calling out to students all over the country saying, "I consider myself an asymptomatic infected person and take cautious action to protect important people." .

To be specific, students from Kyoto Sangyo University, especially in response to the successive infections of younger generations, are to avoid places where the three conditions of sealing, congestion, and closeness overlap, especially welcome new students. We are seeking self-restraint or postponement of the event.

Students who have traveled abroad are also expected to actively report to the university about their destination and physical condition, follow the university's instructions, and make sure that they stay at home for two weeks.

The content of the read-out messages will be shared widely between students or posted on the Kyoto City homepage using SNS, etc., and will be widely transmitted.

Kawabata said, "We want to take the initiative, take this issue seriously with students from Kyoto and across the country, and work together to overcome this situation."
