COVID -19 Measures When Going Out
COVID-19 is still spreading. We should stay alert and keep taking precautions to stop the spread of the virus.
For example: ▪ Cover your coughs and sneezes with a mask, a handkerchief, tissues or your elbow. ▪ Refrain from going out if you have a fever or cold symptoms (even if mild) such as coughing or a sore throat. ▪ Practice social distancing (keep at least 2 meters away from other people). ▪ Refrain from visiting facilities in large group. ▪ Refrain from talking in a loud voice inside facilities.
Also, when you visit facilities, you should take any preventative measures that they ask you to take. Examples of measures in place in some facilities: ▪ Asking visitors without a mask to leave ▪ Temperature checks at the entrance ▪ Asking visitors to use hand sanitizer before entering
Measures vary according to facilities, so please follow each facility’s measures while using your own judgement and being considerate to the people around you.
Any information in Hiro Club News may change as the situation develops, so be sure to check before you visit.

Assisting with International Cooperation with
Used Stamps & PET Bottle Caps
The International Exchange Lounge collects used stamps to assist international cooperation activities. Through the volunteer groups, JOCS*, the collected stamps are sold to collectors to raise money. With the profit, items such as milk and medicine are purchased and doctors as well as nurses are dispatched throughout Asia and other continents. We also collect PET bottle caps in order to support the “Ecocap Action”. The sales profits obtained by recycling caps are donated to the Japan Committee “Vaccines for the World’s Children” (JCV). *JOCS: Japan Overseas Christian Medical Cooperative Service HOW TO COLLECT: Stamps When you cut stamps from envelopes, please leave 5 mm of paper around them. It is not necessary to remove them from the envelope. Torn or folded stamps cannot be accepted.
PET Bottle Caps Only PET bottle caps for drinks or mineral water are accepted. Please wash the caps and tear off the sticker if it has one. This is in order to avoid damaging the recycling machines. Things such as metal caps and pull-top tabs cannot be accepted.
