Next, Dr. Tomokawa of Shinshu University will explain the characteristics of school health in Japan and measures against infectious diseases in schools. What spread during the COVID-19 pandemic was not only infection but also the aspect of social unrest. Dr. Kobayashi of the University of the Ryukyus will discuss how schools can function to protect children from infection and social unrest, and how we can create a resilient post-COVID-19 society.
