Request to wear masks
Although the classification of COVID-19 has been downgraded, and wearing masks is now a personal choice, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare continues to recommend wearing masks in clinics and hospitals to prevent infections among those at high risk of severe COVID-19.
Our clinic serves many elderly patients, individuals with weakened immune response, and those using immunosuppressive drugs for rheumatic diseases.
To protect these vulnerable individuals, to protect you and your loved ones, and to protect our staff who are dedicated to your health, we continue to request that masks be worn inside the clinic.
If you are not wearing a mask, our staff will kindly remind you to do so. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
