◆ Preventing infections from spreading through organized activities of student clubs, research groups, laboratories, etc.
If multiple members of a student organization or club test positive for COVID-19 within the same timeframe, there is a possibility that a cluster infection took place. Should this occur, the person in charge of the organization should contact and consult with the Keio University Health Center.
