With the announcement of the Third State of Emergency the Ministry of Health Welfare and Labour distributed the following guidelines to organisations through Keidanren, the business association.
In Summary the points are as follows:
1) In the workplace, please make sure the following 5 areas are covered.
2) Active Implementation of Telework
3) Electronic Application Optimisation
4) An understanding of the 5 high risk areas for contracting COVID-19
5) Utilising the employment adjustment subsidies for Business Closure
6) Allowing the use of Annual Leave for those who need to care for children and family members and understanding the subsidies that are available.
