■Living Q & A: Can I still work as a chef if the restaurant changes from Indian to another cuisine? 外国人暮らしのQ&A「インド料理のコックとして働いているレストランが他の国の料理に変わってもそのまま働けるか？」
I have the status of residence of Skilled Labor, and I am working as a chef at an Indian curry restau- rant. If the restaurant changes ownership, and the menu changes from Indian to, say, Italian, or some other cuisine, will I still be able to work as a chef at the same restaurant?
In order to undertake work as a chef in Japan, a foreign national must have the status of residence (zairyū shikaku / 在留 資格) of Skilled Labor (ginō / 技能). One of the requirements for this particular status of residence (under the Ministerial Order to Provide for Criteria Pursuant to Article 7, paragraph (1), item (ii) of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recogni- tion Act [出入国管理及び難民認定法第七条第一項第二号の基準を定める省令]) stipulates that a foreign national employed as a chef be engaged "in the duties of preparing cuisine or producing foodstuffs that require skills which were devised overseas and that are foreign to Japan" and "with at least 10 years' experience using the skills" (5 years' experience in the case of Thai cuisine under the Agreement between Japan and the Kingdom of Thailand for an Economic Partnership [経済上の連携に関する日本国とタイ 王国との間の協定附属書]). As it seems you have been granted the status of residence of Skilled Labor on the basis of having more than 10 years' practical experience preparing Indian cuisine, if the restaurant where you are employed were to change its menu from Indian to another cuisine, in order to work there as a chef, you would need to have the required amount of practical experience in preparation of the new cuisine. If you do not have 10 years' practical experience in preparation of the new cuisine (5 years' practical experience for Thai cuisine), you will not be able to work as a chef at that restaurant. In that case, you will need to think about finding new employment at another Indian restaurant as authorized by your current status of residence. In addition, if you have been residing in Japan continuously for more than 10 years, you can also submit an Application for Permanent Residence (eijū kyoka shinsei / 永住許可申請). If your application is approved and you are granted the status of residence of Permanent Resident (eijūsha / 永住者), you will no longer have any restrictions on your employment.

■COVID-19 - 5 situations that increase the risk of infection 新型コロナにかかる危険が高くなる「5つの場面」 ① Social gatherings with alcohol present Consumption of alcohol improves mood yet also reduces attention. In addition, hearing is dulled, prompting people to speak in a louder voice. The risk of infection increases when large numbers of people are in a confined space for a long time. Sharing glasses and chopsticks also increases the risk of infection. ② Long meals in large groups Long meals, receptions and drinking parties at night pose a greater risk of infection than a shorter meal. The risk of infection increases when eating and drinking in a large group of people (e.g. 5 or more people), because people talk more loudly, increasing the spread of saliva droplets. ③ Conversation without a mask Talking at close range without a mask increases the risk of airborne or micro-doplet infection. Cases of infection have been observed during karaoke gatherings where participants were not wearing masks. Be sure to wear a mask in a car with other people, on buses and public transport. ④ Living together in a small limited space Living with others in a small limited space increases the risk of infection because the space is shared by several people for long periods. Suspected cases of infection are thought to have occurred in common areas such as dormitory bedrooms and bathrooms. ⑤ Switching locations When moving to another location and relaxing, such as when taking a break at work, people can let their guard down, and increase the risk of infection. Suspected cases of infection are thought to have occurred in break rooms, smoking areas and locker rooms.

Please do not go directly to the clinic without consulting staff in advance. If it is possible to be examined and be tested there, follow the directions of staff on how to do so. If an examination and test is not possible at your regular or local medical facility, you will be referred to a facility where patients with symptoms such as fever can be examined and tested. If you do not have a regular doctor or are unsure which medical clinic to consult, please contact the Examination and Consultation Center. The Examination and Consultation Center staff will direct you to a medical facility where patients with symptoms such as fever can be examined and tested.

■What happens when a patient is diagnosed with COVID-19? 新型コロナウイルス感染症患者が発生した場合の対応 When a patient (kansensha / 感染者) is diagnosed as being infected with COVID-19, staff at the health center (Hoken sentā / 保健セ ンター) in each ward investigate the patient's movements during the 14 days prior to the onset of infection in an effort to determine the source of infection. In addition, in order to prevent the spread of infection, the patient's movements over the 2 days prior to the onset of infection are confirmed, and, once contacts / subjects for health monitoring (kenkō kansatsu sha / 健康観察者) have been identified (people who have been face to face within arm's reach [roughly 2 meters] of the infected individual for several minutes or longer, etc.), the contacts are asked to refrain from going out for any non-essential, non-urgent matters during the 14-day health monitoring period (kenkō kansatsu kikan / 健康観察期間), and health center staff phone contacts regularly to confirm their condition.
Points to observe when undergoing health monitoring at home ・Use separate rooms ・Limit responsibility for care of the subject to one person where possible ・Wear a mask ・Wash your hands frequently ・Ventilate the patient's room and other rooms regularly
If a contact reports any symptoms indicating possible infection, a PCR test is promptly carried out, and, if the result is positive (yōsei / 陽性), the patient is admitted to hospital. If a monitored contact does not develop symptoms within 14 days, the monitoring ends.
■COVID-19 Contact-Confirming Application (COCOA) 新型コロナウイルス接触確認アプリ（COCOA） The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has released a smartphone app that enables users to receive notifications about the possibility that one has come into contact with someone infected with the novel coronavirus. The app uses the short-range communication function (Bluetooth) on smartphones (upon user approval) to receive notifications about the possibility of contact with a person who has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, while ensuring the user's anonymity. Users can receive support, such as testing from a public health center, sooner, having been notified that they might have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 infection. The more users, the more effective it will be in preventing the spread of infection. Install the contact-confirming application to protect yourself, your loved ones, your community and society as a whole. For details, and links to download the COCOA app from the App Store and Google Play, see the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website.
