In Taiwan, the new coronary pneumonia virus is spreading rapidly, with the number of local cases exceeding 1,200 in the past five days. The Central Epidemic Command Center announced on Wednesday (19) that the whole Taiwan is on Level 3 alert from now on, and all people are wearing masks when they go out. The DPP’s central meeting was held online for the first time in response to the epidemic. The official in charge of the anti-epidemic work, Chen Shizhong, believes that although the number of cases has increased recently, he is confident that Taiwan will not rise to alert level 4.
DPP Chairman Tsai Ing-wen hosted the first online meeting of the party since its inception on Wednesday (19), saying that the epidemic has heated up in the past few days and the alert has escalated, with schools at all levels closed yesterday. For the public to cooperate with the reduction of going out, stores with the actual link system, that the Taiwanese people this time to fight the epidemic performance is very united, but still need to beware of fake messages nuisance.
The first priority now is to prevent the epidemic, the epidemic is the total mobilization of all the people, especially we are the ruling party, everyone should lead by example, together to win the battle against the epidemic. The central and local governments must cooperate. The ruling county and city governments, in particular, must set a good example and fully cooperate with the command center’s epidemic prevention guidelines. I believe that only when the central and local governments work side by side can the epidemic prevention be done more thoroughly and protect everyone’s safety. The party officials and cadres must help the government keep a close eye on the fake messages and help clarify them.
Cai Ing-wen said that the DPP is about to complete five years in power and we all understand that governing is indeed not easy and challenges will keep coming. The company has been able to respond to every challenge in the past, and this time is no exception.
Central epidemic commander Chen Shih-chung announced that the whole Taiwan is on epidemic alert level 3 from now on, people are wearing masks when they go out, and it is prohibited to gather more than 5 people indoors and 10 people outdoors.
According to the regulations, if there are more than 100 local cases per day for 14 consecutive days, the alert will be raised to the fourth level. The media asked Chen Shizhong, Taiwan has accumulated 1,234 local cases in the past five years, an average of more than two hundred cases per day, whether it will be raised to alert level 4 earlier?
Chen Shizhong responded that now the whole Taiwan to the third level of alert, is to hope that everyone in step, can do public health integrity, he does not want to rise to the fourth level, also believe that will not go to this stage.
The design has its reasons, because sometimes the growth is very fast, but it is only a few groups, and most of them can be traced. In this case, the probability of being controlled is basically high, and there is no need to implement an overly aggressive approach. But if more than 50 percent of the cases are really not in the chain of transmission, in fact, there are a lot of cases, then we have to take tougher measures, but we are trying to avoid that now.
The military sent units of chemical soldiers to disinfect high-risk areas after native cases appeared one after another in various places. After the universities, all primary and secondary schools are teaching online until the end of the semester, and some universities are asking students not to enter the campus. The whole Taiwan MRT system will adopt a real-name system tonight, and people using non-credit cards must leave their personal information to enter the station.
Although Taipei City and New Taipei City were raised to alert level three two days ago, public places in the city have adopted real-name entry and strict epidemic prevention measures, but including: NTU Hospital and Rongmin General Hospital and other first-class teaching hospitals, there were cases of staff infected with new pneumonia on Wednesday, 10 people at NTU Hospital and one at Rongmin General Hospital.
In terms of the epidemic, Taiwan added 275 cases on Wednesday (19), of which 267 were local cases. From Sunday (15) onwards, the mass outbreak of local cases has accumulated to 1,234 cases in 5 days.
