3/10 UPDATE: We are OPEN

3月10日最新情報: 再開しました

GVJCI has reopened our campus and resumed our onsite classes and activities, which include our Tomo No Kai senior classes, public programs that are scheduled onsite, and some GVJCI Member Organizations’ weeknight and weekend classes and activities (please check with your GVJCI Member Organization for status). GVJCI’s Japanese Language School and online programs will continue online. 

​MASK-WEARING GUIDELINES
In accordance with the latest information from the LA County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), GVJCI has updated its COVID-19 Health & Safety Guidelines regarding masking. GVJCI will continue to require mask-wearing for all participants in our senior indoor programs, classes, and activities for safety precautions, however, it will no longer be required for other non-senior activities.
However, as stated by the LACDPH, "masking is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, in indoor public spaces by both the state and county public health departments because transmission remains a significant risk for many across our county and state." Therefore, GVJCI also highly encourages everyone to wear masks while inside our buildings. Please note we still require that all participants, regardless of age, must still be fully vaccinated in order to participate in GVJCI on-site programs, events, and activities.
​For more information on LA County's mask wearing rules, please visit: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/masks/RulesAndRecommendations/
With kansha,
Alison Kochiyama
Executive Director
ガーデナ平原日本文化会館はキャンパスを再開し、友の会シニアクラスをはじめ、キャンパスでの一般向けに予定していたプログラム、ガーデナ平原日本文化会館メンバー団体の週日夜や週末のクラス、アクティビティ(各団体に活動の確認をお願いします)などを再始動します。ガーデナ平原日本文化会館日本語学校とオンラインプログラムはオンラインにて継続します。

マスク着用ガイドライン
ロサンゼルス郡公共衛生局(LACDPH)からの最新情報により、ガーデナ平原日本文化会館はコロナ関連健康と安全のガイドラインのマスク着用に関しての更新情報をお知らせします。ガーデナ平原日本文化会館はシニア対象の室内プログラム、クラス、アクティビティに参加される方はマスクを着用してください。シニア以外の方々はマスク着用の必要はありません。
しかし、ロサンゼルス郡公共衛生局(LACDPH)によると、「ワクチン接種の有無に関わらずカリフォルニア州、ロサンゼルス郡の衛生局は、州や郡において未だ感染リスクが高いことを理由に、公共の室内ではマスクを着用することを奨励します」ということなので、ガーデナ平原日本文化会館は室内ではマスクを着用することを続けて奨励しています。年齢やワクチン接種完了に関わらず、ガーデナ平原日本文化会館で行われるプログラムやイベント、アクティビティに参加するすべての方々はマスクをしてくださるようにお願いいたします。
ロサンゼルス郡のマスク着用ルールに関しての情報は、こちらで確認してください。http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/masks/RulesAndRecommendations/
