Dear all,

Today (as of March 25), the number of infected people became 41 in Tokyo and the situation seems to be more critical for a rapid virus expansion.  During the news conference by Tokyo Governor Koike, she urged to encourage telework on weekdays, control of going out over the weekend for non-essential reasons, refrain from outing at night, and avoid social gathering come along with eating and drinking. In response to that, we need to strengthen our measure in order to protect your health.

Please share the sense of crisis stated above and start coping with the situation, such as working at home where possible.
