Based on the guidelines of the MHLW, we will implement the following measures to prevent the spread of infection at both the head office and each offices.
We would like to ask business partners and related parties for your understanding.

Requests at the time of visit

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

①We ask to wear masks.
②Please measure the temperature with a accepted thermal camera. (If the measurement results are 37.5 degrees or more, we will refuse entry into the office.
③Please sanitize your hands with alcohol installed at the reception desk.

Purpose of the Measures

②The company will continue its business in preventing the outbreak of the new coronavirus. With this, it will protect the employment of employees and continue to provide services to clients.

Measures to Prevent Infections

① Avoid “close contact” in-office and commuting.
A. Thorough operation of 20% telecommuting (1 day/week).
B. Active use of shared offices (Can concurrently work at Mitsui Fudosan and Nomura Real Estate, for which we have a contract, and can go directly to and return to the shared office).
C. Use of time staggered attendance and direct return to avoid “close contact” such as full-time trains.
D. Provide advice to supervisors and allow employees to change their time of departure in line with actual circumstances, such as early departure or departure from the company, or late departure from the company. (Priority can be given to people who had a medical condition, elderly people, and people who live with them in their homes.)
In order to make this possible, a work schedule up to two weeks ahead of each week shall be submitted to the supervisor for permission. In addition, it is necessary to thoroughly have open communication and daily reporting.

② Thoroughly wash hands with soap and gargle, etc.

③Checking temperature every morning.

④ Thoroughly wearing masks in places where people gather. In particular, it is mandatory to wear masks in the following situations.

<Mask wearing requirement>
･ Continuously worn at an office in the company (the same applies to the case of multiple passengers on a rental car, etc.).
This case aims at avoiding the secondary infectious risk from the infectious person without subjective symptoms.
In addition, in order to prevent the retention of “micro-particulates,” which are considered to be the cause of the spill infections associated with cough, sneezes, and conversations, windows shall be opened and ventilators shall be operated at all times. Those who forget to bring masks and those who had difficulty purchasing them individually will be provided by the company.
･ Business meetings, conducted face-to-face with customers (excluding cases where masks cannot be worn, such as dining sessions).
When wearing masks, take appropriate measures, such as carefully explaining the intent to customers, and take care not to offend them.
･ Seminars and other gatherings attended by an unspecified number of people (*The necessity of participation will be discussed later)
･ Traffic facilities used by an unspecified number of people, such as the Shinkansen, airplanes, trains, taxis, etc.
In the use of public transportation, it is assumed that the hand railway, etc. will be touched, so that hand-washing should be thoroughly carried out as much as possible.

⑤ Always try to that avoid “dense and closed rooms” Diversification in multiple conference rooms and the use of a web conferencing system should be made so that participants do not sit in crowded meetings, business negotiations, meals, etc.

⑥ In the order for a subordinate to travel, the superior director should interview the subordinate’s health in advance, withdraw a trip if there are any concerns, and consider alternative measures if necessary.

⑦ Employees shall refrain from participating in seminars, etc., where many and unspecified persons gather, unless there is a special reason to do so. If there is an external seminar for business purposes, report it to the supervisor in advance, and the supervisor shall judge whether or not to participate based on the necessity and urgency, and when permitting participation, instruct necessary preventive measures such as wearing a mask.

⑧ We shall not forbid dining out or business meals, although we will not initiate such dining.

⑨ We will comply as much as possible with various requests from the national and local governments aimed at preventing the spread of infections (non-urgent outings, requests for self-restraint on movement, etc.).

⑩ Basically, care at home is provided in the case of poor physical condition.
When there is a temperature of 37.0 degrees or more (or about 1.0 degrees of standard temperature when normal heat is permanently high), leave is taken without coming to work, and in principle efforts are made to provide care at home.

⑪ If a temperature of 37.0 degrees or more (or about 1.0 degrees of standard temperature when normal heat is permanently high) continues for 2 days or more, in addition to home care by vacation, work from home is to be taken for 2 weeks from the time when the temperature is deflationary and returning to normal health. If the PCR test is found to be negative, the employee will be able to work on the assumption that the health condition is favorable.
