Regarding Osaka University’s Activity Levels from June 21, 2021

The state of emergency for Osaka Prefecture was lifted on June 20, but quasi-emergency measures for Osaka Prefecture were enacted from June 21. As such, requests from the prefecture for universities to hold classes online have been lifted; however, requests were made for universities to refrain from holding activities that have a high risk of spreading COVID-19.

Osaka University has altered its activity response levels after careful consideration of requests from Osaka Prefecture as well as the status of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university asks for your cooperation and understanding as it continues its efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In carrying out its activities, the university will comply with the " Osaka University Guidelines for Social Distancing in the COVID-19 Era " while providing proper arrangements for individuals with specific needs*.

The university will continue to monitor the situation and modify its response levels accordingly.
