With the new coronavirus, volunteer activities in the disaster areas will be reviewed. In a situation where the infection continues, the guidelines that include, in principle, limiting the scope of recruitment within the area without calling for participation have been put together.

This is a collection of disaster volunteers nationwide, and if infection continues, the local volunteer center does not call for participation in a wide area, in principle, limits the scope of recruitment to the area, when expanding recruitment outside the prefecture etc. Decided to make a decision based on the opinions of the residents and the administration.

When conducting activities in the field, we require that thermometers and disinfectants be prepared by themselves, avoiding the use of local public transportation and recording body temperature and activity history.

The guidelines will be announced on the 1st, and will be made known to local governments nationwide through the Cabinet Office.

“It will be a big issue how to protect the lives of the victims without spreading the infection,” said Tetsuya Akiki, Executive Director of the national disaster volunteer support group network.
