In the lecture room, which was the venue for the examination, students watched a video explaining the examination procedure displayed on a large screen, and a nurse taught them to perform the examination, and the results were obtained in about 15 minutes.

In order to prevent the spread of infection, Tottori Prefecture subsidizes the cost of antigen testing for students by universities that have entered the new semester, and both universities and students can carry out testing at no cost.
