In your daily life, please follow the same basic rules you would follow to prevent the common cold or seasonal influenza.
(1) Wash your hands with soap and running water, gargle thoroughly, and rub your hands with disinfectant as necessary.
(2) Wear a mask properly and be mindful of “cough etiquette”.
(3) Practice self-restraint with regards to going to crowded places, and avoid unnecessary outings.
2. Managing Your Health
While following the prevention measures above, follow the guidelines below to manage your health.
(1) If you do not feel well, such as having a fever or other cold symptoms, take a rest and do not force yourself to go to school or work. Take your temperature (twice a day, in the morning and evening), and focus on making yourself well.
(2) If you experience any of the following symptoms, avoid contact with other people and immediately contact the nearest “Kikokusha・Sesshokusha Soudan Senta (Returnee and Contact Center)” by telephone for a consultation.
① If you have a serious condition, such as difficulty in breathing (dyspnea), severe fatigue (malaise), or high fever

③ If you do not fall under the above and have relatively mild cold symptoms, such as fever and cough (If your condition persists for four days or more, be sure to contact the Center.
