Since children and students attending elementary and junior high schools in Kitakyushu have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus, the city's Board of Education has a temperature of 37 degrees or more before going to school. Parents are urged to refrain from going to school.

In Kitakyushu, five elementary school children in the same class were confirmed to have been infected by an elementary school in Minami-ku, Kokura by 31st, and the city said that a mass infection had occurred at this elementary school.

In addition, infections have been confirmed in a total of 5 children and students at the other 3 elementary and junior high schools.

In response to this, the city's Board of Education notified elementary and junior high schools on the night of 31st to thoroughly check the temperature and check the physical condition.

Among these, parents are urged to refrain from going to school if the temperature of the child or student is 37 degrees or higher before going to school, or if the family members living together have fever or other cold symptoms.
