An Update on COVID-19 from the Canada Japan Society

Given the current situation with COVID-19 and social distancing, the CJS regretfully will have to cancel our April and May Ichimokukai events in order to abide by the directions from Public Health agencies, the Province of Ontario, and the City of Toronto. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and we will hopefully be able to return to our regular events soon.
During this period of quite intense social separation, there are some things that we all can do to help keep everyone safe:
  • Please continue to listen to the advice and direction from our public health agencies: keep a safe physical distance from others, and maintain good hygiene practices (especially thorough hand washing).
  • Working from home? Here are some links to help you establish a new working normal in the current situation:
  • If you have a public library card (for example, Toronto Public Library), there are many good resources available online to help pass the time while practising social distancing.
  • Please continue to support local restaurants, especially those in the Japanese community, through ordering take-away or purchasing gift certificates if available.
  • If you are able to, please consider donating to charities that support the vulnerable in our community, like local food banks.
There is a lot happening in the world right now, and much of it is upsetting and scary. While we all focus on physical health, make sure to maintain good mental health as well.
  • Both the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) have resources on dealing with the stress and anxiety of the current health situation, including advice on talking to children who may be under a great deal of mental stress at the moment
  • Do your best to get some physical activity each day, especially now that the weather is getting a nicer. Physical activity is shown to have some positive benefit on mental health. And don’t worry – Netflix will still be there when you get back.
  • Maintain contact with friends and family. This can be especially challenging for those with family in Japan, but thankfully technology can help us bridge those physical distances. Help them, and let them help you.
  • If you are starting to feel like things are getting overwhelming, don’t hesitate to reach out – to family, to friends, to the community, and to professionals if need be.
We hope that you, your family, your friends, and our community stay safe and healthy – and we look forward to warmly welcoming you to an event soon.
 昨今のコロナウィルス COVID-19によるパンデミックおよびソーシャル・ディスタンスの確保要請の状況を鑑み、またトロント市、トロント市保健局、そしてオンタリオ州からの命令を受け、誠に残念ながら私たち日加協会 Canada Japan Society4月及び5月に開催を予定していた毎月第一木曜日に開催しているイベント「一木会」の中止を決定致しました。私たちは少しでも早く通常通りイベントの開催が行なえるよう、引き続きこのCOVID-19及びそれに関する情報について注視していきます。
 社会的分離を強いられる厳しい状況の中、私たちがお互いの安全の為に出来ることがいくつかあります。
  • 引き続き保健局からのアドバイス及び指示に耳を傾け、他人からの安全な物理的距離を保ち、手洗いやうがいなどの衛生習慣を徹底しましょう。
  • 自宅で仕事をしていますか?(テレワーク)こちらのリンクに、あなたの新しい業務環境確立に役立つ情報が掲載されています。(リンク先は英語のウェブサイトとなっています。)
    https://opensource.com/article/20/3/work-from-homehttps://opensource.com/article/20/3/remote-work
  • もし図書館カード(トロント市立図書館など)を持っているのであれば、それらのオンラインサービスで様々なコース、資料などにアクセスすることが出来ます。これらを使ってソーシャル・ディスタンスを徹底している間の時間を有意義に活用しましょう。
  • 地域のレストラン、特に日系コミュニティ内のレストランへのデリバリーやテイクアウトでの注文、またギフトカードの購入などでのサポートを引き続きお願いします
  • また可能であれば、サポートが必要な人々へ寄付を検討してみて下さい。例えば各地域のフードバンクなどへです。

 現在世界中で沢山のことが起こり、その多くは不安や恐怖を感じさせるものです。多くの人が身体的な健康について注目していますが、精神的な健康の維持も徹底しましょう。
  • 中毒・メンタルヘルスセンターCentre for Addiction and Mental Health, CAMH及びカナダメンタルヘルス協会Canadian Mental Health Association, CMHAでは、極度のストレス下に置かれている可能性のある子供への話しかけ方などを含む、健康への不安やストレスを感じる現状況へのアドバイス・資料などを発信しています。
(リンク先は英語のウェブサイトとなっています。)
  • 出来るだけ、毎日いくつかの運動をするようにしましょう。特に今、気候は暖かく、良くなりつつあります。身体的アクティビティは精神衛生にとって良い効果があります。配はいりません・・・ネットフリックスは外から帰ってきたら、そこにありますよ。
  • 家族や友人と連絡を取り合いましょう。これは特に日本に家族がいる人にとってはある意味、挑戦になるかもしれません。しかしありがたいことにテクノロジーが物理的な距離を超え、架け橋となってくれています。相手を支えましょう。そして、相手にも支えてもらいましょう。
  • もし、様々なことに圧倒されるような、押しつぶされるような気持ち・感覚を覚え始めたら躊躇わずに家族や友人、所属するコミュニティ、そして必要であれば専門家へ助けを求めましょう。
私たちはあなたやあなたの家族、友人、そして私達のコミュニティが安全且つ健康でいられるように願っています。また、あなたを一日でも早く、私達のイベントへ温かく迎えられる日を楽しみにしています。
