Request for measures against infectious diseases at licensed nursery schools, etc. due to changes in response to new coronavirus infectious disease patients

Thank you very much for your continued understanding and cooperation with the childcare administration in Bunkyo Ward.

This time, the national government and the metropolitan government have notified that the handling of the waiting period for close contacts and identification of close contacts will be changed based on the characteristics of Omicron strains.

This is aimed at minimizing the impact on health center functions and socioeconomic activities amid the spread of Omicron strain infection, and does not mean that the risk of infectious diseases has been reduced. . In particular, licensed nursery schools, etc., will continue to live in groups for long periods of time in a limited space. , it is difficult to avoid the spread of infection, and there is a possibility that the continuation of the operation of the park will be greatly hindered.

We would like to inform you about the changes in handling and infection control measures, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.

1 About the waiting period for close contacts

From July 22, 2022, the waiting period for close contacts has been shortened from 7 days to 5 days. As a result, the period of refraining from using the park has also been shortened.

However, until the 7 days have passed, please continue to check your health condition by yourself, such as temperature measurement, and avoid using places with a high risk of infection and eating together.

In addition, it has been notified that the waiting period can be lifted from the third day if a negative result is confirmed in the test using the antigen qualitative test kit. , so infants will continue to be on standby for 5 days.” Therefore, this handling does not apply to nursery school children.

2 Regarding the identification of close contacts

In the future, even if a child or staff member becomes infected, as a general rule, the public health center will not conduct a survey of the nursery school, identify those who have been in close contact with the nursery school, and will not close the nursery school.

However, if a group infection is suspected, or if a large number of staff members are infected and the staff system is not in place, the park may be closed or the opening hours may be shortened.

3 Request for infection control at home and confirmation of health condition

Due to this change in handling, it will be more important for you to check the health condition of your child at home. Please check whether your child has a fever, cough or respiratory symptoms, etc. If your child is not feeling well, please do not force yourself to come to the school and seek medical attention.

In addition, the infection rate of Omicron strain is fast, and it is thought that the secondary infection rate of cohabitants in the same household is particularly high. However, please be careful when deciding whether to attend.

Authorized nursery schools are facilities necessary to secure the employment of parents and guardians and to maintain socio-economic activities. does not hold. The response to the new coronavirus infection at licensed nursery schools, etc. will proceed to a new stage, but we will work on countermeasures while maintaining close communication between the staff and guardians, so please understand and cooperate. I would like to ask for your kind consideration.

About the end of "request for cooperation of home childcare" (from July 1)

This is a guide for parents of existing children and new children

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all parents for their cooperation in infection control measures at nursery schools to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections.

Currently, as part of measures against the new coronavirus infectious disease at nursery schools, we are implementing a "request for cooperation with home childcare", but while the number of new infections in Tokyo has been calming down compared to a while, There have also been sporadic reports of infections occurring at nursery schools.

In view of the current infection situation, the city has decided to end the "request for cooperation with home childcare" and "refund of basic childcare fees on days off" on June 30, 2022. However, if the nursery school is temporarily closed due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection, etc., the closed period will be subject to the daily refund, and the child who became an infected person or a close contact person at that time will also be eligible. I will.

Although the "Request for cooperation with home childcare" has ended, it is difficult for nursery schools to practice a lifestyle that avoids close contact, so the situation remains that it is necessary to continue to take measures to prevent the spread of infection. We ask for your continued cooperation in the measures taken by each garden to prevent infectious diseases.
