China Taiwan Network reported on May 25th, according to Taiwan's official news agency, Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan said on the 24th that hundreds of people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 every day in recent days. Because there are currently insufficient centralized quarantine centers and specialized epidemic prevention hotels that Taipei City can send back, so more than 100 confirmed patients every day have been evaluated and confirmed that there is no problem, so they are allowed to stay at home to rest.
Huang Shanshan pointed out that these people will be cared for, tracked and investigated by the health service centers of each district. If there is any physical condition, an ambulance will be sent to deal with it immediately, and the confirmed case will not be allowed to be dealt with by the person at home alone.
The number of cases in Japan exceeded 100 for 10 consecutive days. Experts on the island estimate that this wave of epidemic may not decline in mid-June.
Chen Xiuxi, professor at the School of Public Health of Taiwan University, analyzed that this wave of local epidemic dating reached its peak on June 15, with the highest positivity rate of 10 to 13%. According to data from the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, the latest fast screening positivity rate in Taipei has dropped to 5.9%, and the positivity rate of New Taipei City has remained at 4%. The data has gradually declined. The first wave of pandemic clusters has begun to slow down, but the island may not gradually return to normal life after mid-June.
Shi Xinru, director of the Emerging Virus Infection Research Center of Chang Gung University, Taiwan, also evaluated that Taiwan has entered the third level of epidemic alertness. These two weeks are a critical period. If the number of new confirmed cases remains hundreds of cases every day, it is still under control. If the whole nation abides by epidemic prevention regulations, it is logical that the epidemic is expected to decline in three weeks. If the
