1. Preparation required of student organizations to recommence club/circle activities:

1. Clubs/circles must not only have proper coronavirus prevention measures in place to be able to recommence their activities, but must also be responsible about communicating with their members and keeping an eye on how everyone is feeling.
1. Check participants’ temperature and if they are experiencing any cold-like symptoms, a cough, and/or loss of taste and smell.
   ※Participants must have not experienced any symptoms for the 2-week period before the practice date. Participants with a temperature of 37℃ or higher are unable to participate in practice.
   ※Club/circle members who typically have a high body temperature (around 37℃) and are planning to participate in a club/circle activity should consult with the Student Office beforehand.
2. Wear a mask when going to and from practice. Do not travel in groups and avoid crowded spaces.
3. Although restrictions are gradually being lifted, do not forget about the need to be cautious. Classes are being held online this semester to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. If you are getting together to practice, make sure that you properly ventilate the facility you are using.

2. Base Guidelines for Club/Circle Activities

1. There are no restrictions on online activities.
2. Permission to use campus facilities for student activities will depend on the infection prevention measures the club/circle has in place. Clubs/circles lacking sufficient infection prevention measures will not be permitted to use APU facilities for their activities.
3. Clubs/circles are asked to refrain from holding face-to-face events both on and off-campus for the time being.
4. Permission to travel in and out of Oita Prefecture for a game, etc. will depend on the infection prevention measures the club/circle has in place.
   ※Conditions: The organization must come up with a travel plan that would allow them to avoid the “Three C’s” (closed spaces with poor ventilation, crowded places, close-contact settings) when traveling.
5. Overseas activities are not permitted as of the present. The Student Office will make an announcement concerning overseas activities if the current situation improves.
6. Activities that involve eating and drinking are prohibited. This excludes hydrating during practice to prevent heat stroke, however, do not share your drink with others.
