The National Center for University Entrance Examinations has deleted the section regarding measures against the novel coronavirus from its exam guide for the Common Test for University Admissions to be held next January. The center released the guide on Friday.
The revision removes the requirement that masks be worn during the test. The guide also explicitly states that the additional test venues that were set up in all prefectures will be done away with, and the number of sites will return to two venues, the same as before the pandemic.
The center said that if matters come up that require further communication due to coronavirus measures, they will be indicated in the cautionary notes for examinees to be announced around December.
The current exam guide also takes into account the cheating incidents using smartphones during last year's common test in January by clearly stating anti-cheating measures.
