The Japanese Society of Travel and Health (JSTH) and the Japanese Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) have compiled “Novel Coronavirus Information” together as a joint document, which has been shared with the public on their respective websites since February 2020. In May 11, 2020, this document was to be published as “A Guide for Businesses and Employers Responding to Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)” (hereinafter referred to as “this Guide”). This Guide was prepared for persons in charge of COVID-19 control measures in their workplace. It should be used at the discretion of each business operator according to their workplace environment. The examples of infection control measures shown in this Guide are not guaranteed to work for all situations, and they do not limit or bind actual measures being put in place. When selecting actual measures, it is necessary to obtain new information and thoroughly understand individual cases and situations. This Guide was prepared based on findings and reports about the virus and response measures taken by the relevant ministries (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc.) that could be confirmed as of December 15, 2020. Therefore, the contents of this Guide may need to be modified in the future, depending on changes in the situations mentioned above. In the preparation of this Guide, every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of currently obtainable information. However, neither JSTH or JSOH shall be held liable for any unfavorable circumstance, such as loss and damage (including lost profits and various expenses), harmful rumors, etc. experienced by a business operator, his/her employees, and any other persons concerned as a result of various measures considered/implemented using this Guide by persons responsible for infection control in the workplace.
