The University Sports Association (UNIVAS) Safety and Security Committee has compiled and released guidelines that summarize the criteria for resuming university sports as a measure to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.It describes the guideline for the resumption time and what the athletic club and the university should do.

 According to the University Sports Association, the guidelines are

・ Self-restraint and gradual relaxation of restrictions on social activities
・ Resumption of university sports
・ What to do as an athletic club
・ What the university should do
-It consists of 5 items, and we received advice from the Japan Sports Agency for each item.

 Of these, when resuming university sports, after the state of emergency was lifted, the group practice was limited to a small number of people for about two weeks, and then team practice by position and team practice without physical contact were started.It is only after the full permission of the athletic club activities is given that the regular practice with contact is returned, and it is requested to refer to the guidelines provided by the competition organization.

 When resuming, it was necessary to learn the basics of measures against new corona infectious diseases in the athletic club, and to carry out daily health observation and infection prevention measures.If an infected person or a close contact person appears, he / she will not participate in club activities and will deal with it according to the policy set by the university.

 The university has said that it will instruct each sports club to observe daily health and implement basic measures against infectious diseases, and has set up a person in charge of measures against the new corona to request thorough measures against infectious diseases in sports facilities.
