The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has stated that it is a requirement to take the examination for the close contact of the infected person of the new corona, but under certain conditions, it is said that some students cannot come by private car etc. We have decided to allow the use of taxis and hire cars.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has so far proved that the close contacts of the new corona-infected persons, including the Omicron strain, were negative by the PCR test of the local government, etc. The requirement was to avoid using public transportation such as buses and taxis, and to take the test in a separate room.
However, the requirement not to use public transportation was restricted by family circumstances such as the presence or absence of a private car, and there was a risk that it would not be possible to secure fair examination opportunities. I was considering it.
As a result, for "taxi", "hire" and "sea taxi", there are certain conditions such as taking measures against infection such as partitions and making a reservation after telling them that they are close contacts. Originally, it was found that we have decided to allow the use of asymptomatic close contact examinees when they come to the venue.
Since the "Common Test for University Admissions", which has been applied by more than 500,000 people nationwide, will start on the 15th of this month, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will soon notify universities nationwide of the new policy.
