A recent rise in Taiwan's domestic Covid-19 cases will not affect plans to gradually re-open as hardly any of the new infections have caused serious illness, Premier Su Tseng-chang said.
Unlike large parts of the rest of the world, Taiwan has kept the pandemic well under control due to strict and early control measures, including an efficient contact and tracing system and largely closing its borders, Reuters reports.
Speaking to reporters in the southern city of Kaohsiung, Su said the “new Taiwan model” in combating Covid-19 was a “normal life, active epidemic prevention and steady opening”.
