On Contracting an Infectious Disease Subject to Preventative Measures at School (School Infectious Diseases)

At Tokyo Metropolitan University, if you have, or are suspected of having, any of the “infectious diseases subject to preventative measures at school” listed below, attendance will be suspended under the “School Health and Safety Act” and the “Regulations for Enforcement of the School Health and Safety Act” to prevent on-campus transmission and the spread of infection.

If you visit a medical institution and are diagnosed with any of these illnesses, confirm with your attending physician whether you may come to campus. During the “attendance suspension” period, when you are not permitted to come to campus, recuperate at home and take care to avoid spreading infection through club activities, circle activities, part-time jobs, and similar activities.

Please check here for how absences from class due to “attendance suspension” will be handled.
