鼻マスク注意の受験生逮捕　共通テスト、不退去容疑で―警視庁

　１６日に行われた大学入学共通テストで、マスクを鼻まで覆うよう注意され、失格となった受験生の男（４９）が試験会場のトイレに閉じこもり、警視庁が不退去容疑で現行犯逮捕していたことが１９日、同庁への取材で分かった。
　同庁深川署や文部科学省によると、男は共通テスト１日目の１６日、東京海洋大越中島キャンパス（東京都江東区）で受験した際、鼻を出した状態でマスクをしていることを監督者から注意され、会場のトイレに閉じこもった疑い。
　監督者は６回にわたり注意したが、男は「これが自分の正しいマスクの着け方だ」などと言って抵抗。監督者が不正行為に当たり失格にすると伝えると、トイレに閉じこもったという。通報を受けた署員が駆け付け、男に出てくるよう求めたが応じなかったため逮捕した。
　大学入試センターは「失格となった受験生の年齢や性別、会場は、個人の特定につながる恐れがあるため公表しておらず、コメントは控える」とした。（2021/01/19-12:35）

A 49-year-old man who took Japan's new unified university entrance examination on Saturday was arrested for locking himself in a restroom stall at the test venue after being disqualified for ignoring repeated requests to wear his face mask properly, it was learned Tuesday.
   Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department arrested the man at the scene after he refused to get out of the stall, according to the MPD.
   The man had been sitting the test at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology's Etchujima campus in Tokyo's Koto Ward on Saturday, the first day of the two-day unified exam.
   Amid the novel coronavirus crisis, test-takers were required to wear face masks as part of infection prevention measures. The man was given six warnings by exam proctors for leaving his nose uncovered by the mask. But he refused to comply, saying, among other things, "This is my way of wearing a mask," according to the police and the education ministry.
   After being told that he would be disqualified in the exam because his action amounted to misbehavior, the man went to a restroom and shut himself in a stall. Police officers who went to the scene upon being informed of the incident arrested him as he refused to come out.
