COVID-19 Pandemic Response: Taiwan

The COVID-19 situation in Taiwan has entered the “local transmission” stage. The government is reinforcing social distancing measures, contact registration, body temperature measurement, disinfection, and crowd control, and traffic flow planning. There are 1210 cases confirmed and 12 deaths in total as of 12 May 2021.
