Breaking: Japan's Foreign Minister has confirmed that Tokyo is currently planning to donate their additional #COVID19 vaccines to other countries and regions, and it includes #Taiwan, which is currently struggling to secure enough vaccines fast enough. cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
The foreign minister said it's important for Japan to ensure that every country and region can get safe and effective #COVID19 vaccines fairly. He mentioned that #Taiwan immediately made donations and other supports to Japan following the Fukushima crisis.
The foreign minister said even though #Taiwan's domestic vaccine is scheduled to be ready by the end of July, but before then, Taiwan may still need more vaccines, so Japan will seriously consider donating some vaccines to Taiwan.
Japan has already reserved 240 million doses of #COVID19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna combined. They have also reserved 120 million doses from AZ.
As I've tweeted earlier, the vaccines that Japan is considering of donating to #Taiwan are the AZ vaccines, which are currently not in use in Japan.

One of #Taiwan's #COVID19 epicenter Taipei tried to run through the protocols of a possible level 4 alert lockdown today in theory. Level four alert will include measures like requiring all schools to stop classes and businesses to stop asking workers to go into offices.
Citizens won't be allowed to leave their houses unless it's necessary and there will only be 21,000 restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores and gas stations open across the city. They will also limit citizens' movement from Taipei to other counties. cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
There will also be limited times that traditional markets can operate. This has been one of the recent hotspots of infection highlighted by health officials. Train and high speed rail services also won't be making stops in Taipei.

Shocking news about the life imprisonment given to @Dolkun_Isa's brother, who like many #Uyghurs, were put into one of the many camps in #Xinjiang and lost contact with family members until the news of him being sentenced to life resurfaced.
‘’I am truly heartbroken to hear this news. My brother is an innocent man. He was punished because of my activism and work as a human rights activist," said @Dolkun_Isa.
‘’This is the third consecutive year that I have received such heartbreaking news, first learning that my mother died in a camp in 2019, and in 2020, I learned about my father’s death in a propaganda paper."

Foxconn's founder Terry Gou said his foundation is going to apply to import 5 million doses of German-made @BioNTech_Group #COVID19 vaccines to #Taiwan. He emphasized these are vaccines manufactured in Germany, and not the same as the ones from #China. cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
Gou promised that his foundation will commission the qualified vendor to apply to the government regarding the import of the German-made vaccines. He said his team is now gathering all necessary information and he promised to share the whole process with the public.
Previous media reports suggested that Gou was interested in trying to import the BNT #COVID19 vaccines from Shanghai Fuson Pharmaceutical, which has the exclusive right to distribute the BNT vaccine in #China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

Some positive news from #Taiwan's #COVID19 epicenter Taipei. Mayor @KP_Taipei said earlier in the press conference that following the high compliance from citizens, the outbreak in the original hotspot Wanhua has eased even though ...cna.com.tw/news/firstnews…
... the outbreak in other districts has increased slightly. He said while the total number of cases hasn't had an obvious drop based on the rate of positive test results, he thinks Taipei's overall outbreak is now under control.
However, Ko also warned that any slip of attention among citizens could trigger the outbreak to get out of control once again. He said the current disease prevention measures need to be maintained until at least 70% of the citizens are vaccinated.
