Among them, northern Taiwan came out of the peak treatment period earlier, while central and southern Taiwan is now out of the peak admission period.
Luo Yijun said that the previous highest number of admissions to dedicated wards in Taiwan was on June 6. At that time, there were 7,592 admissions in Taiwan. In the past few weeks, it has dropped from more than 7,000 to more than 6,000. This week is the first time that we have seen to drop below 6,000 beds. The
"Command Center" announced today that considering that Taiwan has entered a large-scale epidemic stage, and the number of imported BA.4 and BA.5 cases continues to increase, in order to take into account epidemic prevention, economic and social operations, Taiwan's epidemic prevention capacity and effective control will be maintained. To manage risks, after a comprehensive assessment of the epidemic situation, the current epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks will be maintained from July 1. Chen Shizhong, commander of the
"Command Center", said that the flow of people had dropped before, but in the past two weeks, everyone has become more relaxed, and various scenic spots have continued to have crowds. Because there are still more than 40,000 cases in a single day, everyone still needs to be patient, wear masks, and please cooperate together. This is a very important mile. The
"Command Center" stated that of the 92 newly imported cases today, 51 are male and 41 are female, ranging in age from their teens to their 60s, respectively from the United States and Germany (4 cases each), Vietnam (2 cases) and Italy (1 case) were imported, and another 81 cases of infection are under investigation.
