Although the epidemic in Taiwan is still in a plateau area, some Taiwanese medical experts say that if the diagnosis declines for two consecutive weeks, it is estimated that there will be a chance to open the external portal in July. In this regard, Zhuang Renxiang, spokesperson of the "Epidemic Command Center", said that the current epidemic control is not for the purpose of zeroing out, but for disaster reduction as a new prevention and control measure. In the future, we must wear masks and open entry and other related quarantine measures, which are also based on The goal is to shorten the number of quarantine days. Wang Guocai, head of the transportation department of the DPP authorities, revealed that the "Tourism Bureau" has prepared guidelines for entry and exit passengers, including having a PCR nucleic acid negative certificate two days ago, having to receive a full three doses, and having to enter and exit the group.
After more than two years of fighting the epidemic, Taiwan has gradually moved from the initial "strictly guarding overseas" to a wave of local epidemics last year and this year, and has gradually become coexisting with the virus. Some Taiwanese media reported that it is expected to expand the review of outdoor mask removal in July. As for the opening hours of the "border" as fast as July, and even slower than August. Chen Shizhong, commander of the "Command Center", recently responded at a press conference that "it probably won't be planned for that long." However, there will still be rolling reviews. As for mask epidemic prevention, he emphasized that masks will not be relaxed overall in July for the time being.
Authoritative expert of the Taiwan Infectious Disease Department Huang Limin mentioned that the epidemic is expected to end in early July, but Zhuang Renxiang said at a press conference this afternoon (8th) that he said, "I don't know very well what the end of the epidemic means." He said that because all regions are slowly declining from peaks, it is difficult to completely end the epidemic.
Regarding the openness to the outside world, Chen Shizhong pointed out that basically no quarantine is needed after being vaccinated or related conditions. The tourist part is "worry not yet mature", which means there will be no "0+7" at present, and some people may be looking forward to it. , but some people do not want to implement this. Therefore, he also said, "In terms of gradually shortening the number of quarantine days, the current plan is the highest possibility."
As for the timing, Chen Shizhong said that of course, it is to open up from business, so that related industries that need to come in and invest can enter only after entering. Will consider other aspects again. He mentioned that referring to overseas experience, most people start preparing for the peak when the peak is down, and some drop to one-third. We will see that the overall number of wards is related to the actual medical needs at that time. , and then decide on the opening time.
For "Guidelines for Entry and Exit Passengers", Wang Guocai explained that it is necessary to have a negative nucleic acid certificate two days ago, so that everyone can rest assured that there are many mutant viruses in the Omicron overseas, and they are afraid that they will come in; in addition, they will give it three doses and then ask for it. The group will enter and exit, exit and entry guidelines will be completed and will be sent to the "Command Center" for approval in the short term, but the implementation time will still depend on the status of the epidemic.
