We offer our deepest condolences to those who have lost their lives and loved ones during the novel coronavirus pandemic and extend our deepest sympathies to all affected people, their families, and others. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone working at the forefront of medical institutions and logistics to combat the novel coronavirus.

Isuzu will work to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and to ensure the safety of local communities through thorough management of employee safety in accordance with government policies. As of June 2020, Isuzu has taken the following measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and to help local communities that are required to engage in self-isolation/social distancing as a result of the declaration of a national state of emergency.

As part of Isuzu's social contributions in local communities to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, Isuzu donated masks (12,000/10,000 pieces respectively) and raincoats (120/100 pieces respectively) to Fujisawa City and Tochigi City, where Isuzu has production bases. We received letters of appreciation from Fujisawa City and Tochigi City for these efforts.

In April, when the declaration of a state of emergency was issued, there was a shortage of disinfectants due to the spread of the novel coronavirus. In order to ensure the thorough disinfection for safe operation of the plant, we introduced slightly acidic electrolyzed water devices that has disinfection effect.

At the same time, while we were evaluating social contributions to undertake in response to the coronavirus crisis, we received a request from Fujisawa City, in response to which we began distribution from April 24 of slightly acidic electrolyzed water to local residents at Isuzu Plaza, in the same way as at each facility in Fujisawa City. We were greatly encouraged by the words of gratitude from local residents.

In April, following the declaration of a state of emergency in Japan, Isuzu Plaza provided content on its website to give people staying at home under self-isolation/social distancing rules the opportunity to get together with their families and take part in experiences currently unavailable to them so that they can make the most of their time. This includes the "Virtual Tour" and "Miniature World" videos (which use drones etc. to present the plaza and dioramas), "Coloring In" content, and more.
