「Our COVID-19 prevention measures include health checks, including temperature checks for employees and their family members. Anyone suspected of having a COVID-19 infection, such as someone with a fever, is required to stay home, and after a negative PCR test or other test has been confirmed and symptoms have disappeared, a 14-day observation period is required before deciding whether the individual may return to work. Employees strictly wear masks, wash their hands frequently and disinfect with alcohol, and we ask business partners making deliveries to stores to take their temperatures, devoting every effort to the safety and security of customers and employees. We have also thoroughly disinfected all internal equipment and supplies, including fixtures, furnishings and cooking utensils. In addition, we established Company guidelines to implement and entrench the “new lifestyle” aimed at preventing the spread of infection. To ensure the safety and security of customers and employees, we have provided spacing between seats, introduced measures for serving shared dishes, and installed transparent acrylic panels to prevent droplet transmission.」

「In connection with the reopening, as COVID-19 prevention measures, we established a system under which employees undergo temperature checks and other health checks, including checks covering family members. Employees with symptoms suggesting a COVID-19 infection, such as a temperature of 37°C or higher, employees whose cohabiting family member has been infected at work or school, and employees who may have had close contact with an infected person are required to stay home immediately. Depending on subsequent developments, they may undergo PCR, antigen or antibody testing. After a negative result has been confirmed in each test and symptoms have disappeared, a 14-day observation period is required before deciding whether the employee may return to work, as part of our efforts to prevent internal infections.」

「From mid-May 2020, operations gradually resumed, beginning with stores in regional areas, and all stores had reopened by 1 June. In connection with the reopening, as COVID-19 prevention measures, we have worked to prevent internal infections by conducting health checks, including temperature checks for employees and their family members. Anyone with a suspected COVID-19 infection, such as a temperature of 37°C or higher, is required to stay home for approximately four days. After a negative PCR test has been confirmed and symptoms have disappeared, a 14-day observation period is required before deciding whether the individual may return to work.」
