Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel Corporation has announced that it will take additional measures for operations in the areas designated within the scope of the Japanese government’s state of emergency declaration in the capital Tokyo and six other prefectures in order to tackle the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

As a part of these measures, Nippon Steel will limit employees’ attendance at work to the minimum and conduct the production process at its steelworks with the minimum number of employees. The company will also prohibit face-to-face meetings at offices and business trips in and outside Japan.

These measures affect the company’s head office in Tokyo, its office in Osaka, the Kyushu marketing branch in Fukuoka, some R&D laboratories as well as East Japan Works’ Kimitsu Area (including Tokyo Pipe & Tube Div.), Kansai Works’ Wakayama, Osaka and Amagasaki Areas, Setouchi Works’ Hirohata and Hanshin Areas, and Kyushu Works’ Yahata Area.
