Precondition 2)

Led by the Cabinet Secretariat
Compliance with Guidelines for Responding to the Novel Coronavirus in Normal Times

① Thorough implementation of measures to prevent infection in the workplace

Thorough hand washing and finger disinfection, cough etiquette, securing distance between staff, promoting ventilation of workplaces, disinfecting areas touched by multiple people, self-restraint from work for employees with symptoms such as fever, testing using antigen test kits for those with mild symptoms, use of video conferences to reduce employee travel due to business trips, and staggered acquisition of lunch breaks, etc.

② Thorough avoidance of the three C’s and the five situations where infection risk increases, such as “changes in location” (break rooms, changing rooms, smoking rooms, etc.) in the workplace

Until now, our company and its consolidated subsidiaries have flexibly taken countermeasures according to the circumstances at the time, such as promoting telework and staggered commuting, securing social distance during work, introducing “vaccination leave,” and “vaccination in the workplace for entertainment industry workers.” We will continue to strive to understand the situation and take countermeasures accordingly.
