About wearing a mask to prevent infection with the new coronavirus infection (13 March 2023)

The government on Feb. 10 eased its recommendations on mask wearing, approving new rules that will basically leave the decision up to each individual from March 13. Under the new guidelines, firms can enforce their own mask policies.

At J-PARC (including the Nuclear Science Research Institute, JAEA), we are encouraging the wearing of masks as part of measures to prevent the spread of the COVID19.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We will continue to use the Health Questionnaire (physical condition check sheet) when entering the J-PARC campus.
