CNN article wrote: Since April, Taiwan has recorded the first coronavirus cases spread locally. Taiwan is one of the most successful regions in the world to respond to the pandemic! CNN said that within 255 days of the spread of the new crown infection, there was no local epidemic transmission, but now it has the first case, highlighting that it is difficult to control the virus even in areas that have basically disappeared.
According to a statement issued today by the Ministry of Health of Taiwan : From December 8 to 12, a woman in her 30s was infected after contact with a foreign pilot, who also tested positive for the virus.
CNN stated: Since April 12, Taiwan has had no coronavirus cases and only imported cases have been recorded. Passengers arriving on the island must be quarantined, and those who test positive will be quarantined and treated. On December 22, three such imported cases were recorded, bringing the total number of cases in Taiwan since the beginning of the pandemic to 770.
CNN believes that Taiwan’s effective response to the coronavirus has always been regarded as a global leader! The Taiwan authorities began screening passengers on direct flights from Wuhan on December 31, 2019. At that time, the virus was the subject of rumors and limited reports.
On January 21, Taiwan confirmed the first reported case and then banned Wuhan residents from going to Taiwan. All travelers from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau must be checked.
All of this happened before Wuhan itself entered confinement on January 23. By March, Taiwan banned all foreign nationals from entering the country except diplomats, residents and foreigners holding special entry visas.
CNN stated that the Taiwan authorities’ "epidemic tracking" plan and extensive testing have enabled the Taiwan authorities to effectively control the local epidemic and treat the infected. Taiwan’s successful elimination of the virus has allowed Taiwan to open up and return to relative normalcy in recent months.
According to official media reports, a senior Taiwanese health official stated on December 21 that Taiwan would not consider banning flights from the UK (because a new virus has been discovered in the UK) because of adequate precautions.
