Here is another success story of coronavirus free nation after New Zealand. Taiwan had not reported single case since 6 months after the eruption of pandemic virus.
It’s co-incident that both countries run by women Prime Ministers. Taiwan has been coronavirus-free for 200 days. It has had only 550 COVID-19 cases and 7 deaths. While many countries around the world are hitting new highs in coronavirus cases, Taiwan has achieved a different kind of record—200 days without a locally transmitted case. The achievement made Taiwan envy of world.
While the corona virus is booming in most countries around the world, the second stage of corona has also begun in a few other countries. However, Taiwan is in a better position than other countries in this regard. Not a single coronavirus case has been registered locally for the last 200 days. As a result, the case went unreported for several days. In Taiwan, with a population of 23 million, only 553 cases have been reported so far. The pandemic killed just seven people. Taiwan's last local case came on April 12; there has been no second wave. Experts say the corona virus has had little effect there due to the closure of borders and the imposition of travel restrictions ahead of everyone else in the fight against the corona.
Also, people wearing masks and contact tracing also prevented the virus. Taiwan has taken steps to provide meal and grocery delivery and even some friendly contact via Line Bot, a robot that texts and chats. There is also severe punishment to those who break quarantine face fines. Taiwan shut down to all non-residents shortly after the pandemic broke out in January and has kept tight control over its borders since. The second wave of coronavirus is clearly visible in some nations. London surges with one lakh corona positive cases on daily basis. France and Germany announced fresh lockdown restrictions to counter pandemic virus. Amid of all the above, Taiwan’s achievement is exceptional and inspirational to others.
