Currently, 64,000 people are quarantined at home in Taiwan. Chen Shizhong, commander of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, pointed out yesterday that when 15% to 20% of the total population is about 4.6 million people, it means entering the actual coexistence with the virus.
Taiwan Epidemic Command Center reported yesterday to the administrative agency that it is estimated that nearly 10,000 cases will reach a single day by the end of the month, and the number of people quarantined at home will be significantly reduced, from the existing confirmed cases within 4 days to contact within 2 days.

Currently, there are 153 schools in Taiwan that have been suspended. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe pointed out yesterday that according to the existing standards for suspension of classes and separation, Taipei City will be suspended in one week. Ke said that on average, about 100 people were confirmed every day in March this year. At that time, I knew that it was impossible to clear the zero and coexist with the virus, but the DPP authorities did not say that.
Chen Shizhong said yesterday that fast screening replaces isolation is only applicable to medical staff, and the measures to replace isolation will be expanded in the future. After medical care, it will open up critical infrastructure and gradually loosen to full opening.

Chen Shizhong said that the overall volume of Taiwan should be placed on how to minimize social harm. Now we will choose to spend a little less on the front-end epidemic control efforts, and work harder for hospitalization and vaccination in the back-end, and make good diversion of minor and severe cases and prepare the drugs. When the virus is actually coexisting, it is the key to treating moderate to severe diseases, just like influenza .
