My son is taking the exam

Anxiety has been posted on the Internet ahead of the full-fledged test season.

A post that appears to be an examinee: "What if I have been studying hard to get into college but have been infected with a coronavirus and can't receive it?
"If you get infected, everything you've worked on will be par ..."

A post that appears to be a guardian: "My son is going to college this year, but if I get infected with coronavirus, will I ruin my study at the expense of all the fun this year?"
"I bought a lot of masks, but I'm worried ... my son is taking the test."

Please use mask and disinfectant freely

There has been a movement to thoroughly prevent infection by calling for the use of masks and disinfectants.

At the junior and senior high schools of Tachibana Gakuen in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, a mask and disinfectant were newly installed at the entrance of the school building from January 25.
And the guide I wrote "Please use freely" was attached.

At Tachibana Gakuen, where the entrance to junior high school exams begins on February 1, many students and their parents will visit the school building from the morning, and will be taking the exam with a recruitment frame of 80 people for both men and women.
Except for interviews, candidates can wear a mask and take the exam if they wish.

Tachibana Gakuen, Corporate Secretary "As far as the news reports indicate, it is anticipated that further infections will spread in Japan in the future. I don't think it's good to be too responsive, I want to do as much as I can so that the students who have been preparing can show their full potential. ''

Keep out of school at the prep school

Some preparatory schools have decided not to go into school buildings and dormitories without wearing a mask from February 1st, in order to be ready for the production.

Kitakyushu Preparatory School in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which operates preparatory schools mainly in Kyushu, means that all 13 school buildings and 17 dormitories ensure that students and teachers wear masks.

Basically, masks will be prepared by each person, but the prep school will collect a total of 3,000 masks from nearby stores etc. for those who are running out of candidates and visitors.

In the school building, disinfectants were routinely installed to prevent influenza and handwashing and gargling were performed, but with the spread of the new coronavirus, it was decided to take immediate measures.

The prep school has about 4,000 students living in a dormitory, one-third of whom live in dormitories.

Mr. Takashi Miwa, Deputy General Manager of the Kitakyushu Preparatory School, spoke as follows about the reasons for the measures.

Deputy Director Miwa Miwa "Some test takers use transportation to reach densely populated cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. For test takers who have worked hard so far, it is an important time for us to prepare for the test in a timely manner I want to try to raise the preparatory school so that I can approach it. ''

All test takers also have mask-wearing colleges

At the Tokyo University of the Arts, entrance examinations will begin in late February, and on the 30th, we announced on our website about new coronavirus countermeasures, entitled "To Examinees".

According to this, there is a concern that the spread of the infection is a concern, and when taking the entrance examination, we ask all test takers to wear masks from the viewpoint of prevention.

When verifying the identity of a photograph, the mask is removed under the direction of the test supervisor.

Tokyo University of the Arts did not take measures until calling for the wearing of a mask so far, but this is a plan to prepare a mask for students who have forgotten the mask on the day of the test on their own Is.

We are also calling for thorough hand washing and cough etiquette, which are basic preventive measures against infectious diseases.

The person in charge of the entrance examination section "I think we have to take measures to ensure the security of the students. Since the entrance examination is one month later, there is a possibility that the infection will spread further, but depending on the situation at that time, I think we need to consider how to deal with it. I hope we can finish it as soon as possible ... "
