Breaking: Among the 180 cases in #Taiwan, 89 are in Taipei, 75 in New Taipei. There are also cases in Taichung and Changhua.
Apart from 89 confirmed cases in Taipei and 75 confirmed cases in New Taipei City, there are 6 new cases in Changhua County, 4 in Yilan County, 4 in Taoyuan County, 1 in Taichung City and 1 in Keelung.
#Taiwan has now vaccinated more than 180,000 citizens so far, according to the government.
Health Minister Chen Shih-Chong corrected himself and said the criteria to enforce a total lockdown in #Taiwan is if there are more than 100 new local #COVID19 cases for 14 days in a row.
Chen also reiterated that all confirmed cases would have already been hospitalized before they were counted into the official cases.
Restaurants can't host more than 100 people indoor and if they can't ensure proper social distance and shield between customers, they should transition into takeouts.
There are 126 facilities across #Taiwan that offer #COVID19 testing and they can process more than 16,000 cases a day.
Meanwhile, #Taipei City Mayor @KP_Taipei also urges citizens to stay home and don't go out to eat. He says that if people absolutely have to go out, they must wear masks. cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
Additionally, #Taiwan will stop accepting self-paying citizens to schedule for #COVID19 vaccination as the government continues to widen the pool for the government-subsidized vaccination program. cna.com.tw/news/ahel/2021…
However, those who have already scheduled for their self-paying vaccination will still be able to get vaccinated as originally planned.
