When entering the Mathematics Building you are required to help prevent the further spread of the corona virus by adhering to the guidelines below. (See also https://corona.go.jp/prevention/pdf/en.newlifestyle.pdf)

1. For students or researchers entering the Mathematics Building

• Undergraduate students are only permitted to enter the Mathematics Building for in-person classes (including seminars) or when using the Mathematics Library. Concerning the latter: after receiving permission and an appointment from the Library to use the Library facilities you must still obtain permission from the head of the Department of Mathematics to enter the Mathematics Building at your appointed date and time. (For details on how to obtain permission from the head of the Department of Mathematics, please contact the Library staff.) Please note that when entering the Mathematics Building for in-person classes you do not have to ask for permission from the head of the Department of Mathematics.
• Researchers and Graduate School students can enter and use the Mathematics Building (on weekdays only) between 8:00AM and 8:00PM, for research or training purposes, if their supervisor or host deems this necessary. When entering the Mathematics Building for any other reason than that you were requested to do so by your host or supervisor, you will first need to obtain permission by submitting a letter to your host or supervisor, giving the specific date and time you wish to enter the building as well as explaining the reason to do so. Furthermore, when using the graduate students rooms or researcher offices you are required to follow the "Measures for preventing contamination in the graduate students rooms and researcher offices" listed below.
• In order to facilitate contact tracing in case of contamination inside the Mathematics Building, it is forbidden to use any seminar or lecture room for which no explicit reservation was made in advance.

2. Measures for preventing contamination in the graduate students rooms and researcher offices

• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the room/office you are in. (This information is posted on the door of each room).

3. Measures to be taken during lectures or seminars

• You are required to wear a face mask at all times.

Please discard any used wipes etc. in the designated waste bin.
• Please practice social distancing at all times when you are in the Mathematics Building and especially when leaving or entering the lecture rooms or offices etc.
• Always wear a face mask when there are other people with you in the same room or space.
• When eating, make sure to keep a distance from other participants so as to avoid any contamination by droplets when you take of your face mask.
