We would like to express our sympathy to all those infected with the New Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and those concerned.
We thank you very much for your special patronage. The following is information on our efforts to prevent the spread of New Coronavirus infection.
In response to the “State of Emergency Declaration” issued by the Japanese government on April 8, 2020 in seven prefectures in Japan, we have been restricting employees from going to work and implementing working from home to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections. The Japanese government has fully lifted the “State of Emergency Declaration” on May 25, but for the safety of customers and employees and the prevention of the spread of infection, we have decided to continue restricting employee from going to work and implementing work from home and staggered work hours.
