A vaccine for the coronavirus is still being developed and that the main treatment right now is supportive care. - Chen Shih-chung

We (Centers for Disease Control) are warning that anyone who refuses to cooperate with our quarantine officers or is disrespectful toward them (for the examination of COVID-19) will be strictly punished according to the law. Disease prevention is not a game, so we will impose the heaviest punishment for obstructing public officers in discharging their duties.

Every life is precious, and as the commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, I am sorry. We feel that for every life we should do more, and we will try our best so this does not happen again (on the rising COVID-19 death toll in Taiwan).

I want to advise everyone to wear a face mask at all times when travelling in an aircraft and also in confined spaces such as inside airports (to protect oneself against COVID-19).
