No New Confirmed Cases of the CCP Virus for 14 Consecutive Days in Taiwan

The Epoch Times
For 14 days leading up to April 26, Taiwan had no new confirmed cases of the CCP virus. The public is concerned about the possibility of loosening preventive measures. Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-Chung expressed that the Ministry of Health and Welfare is now discussing this possibility using related scientific data. During a Financial Relief Program Project meeting on the CCP Virus Pandemic Report, a question about the end of the epidemic in Taiwan was asked, to which the Minister of Health and Welfare replied. Legislator Zeng Ming-Zong: “Assuming there are no surprises, will the epidemic end before the end of June?” Minister Chen: “It is possible.” Legislator Zeng: “Will the epidemic come back again?” Minister Chen: “If the antibodies mentioned by the WHO are not as effective as we expected, then they might not be useful in the development of the vaccine. Therefore, it is inevitable that the epidemic will return in Autumn and Winter.” The antibodies provided by the WHO are ineffective, as a result, Minister Chen Shih-Chung is worried about having a long-term fight against this epidemic. Legislator Zeng: “In your opinion, should social distancing should continue until the end of this year or until next year?” Minister Chen: “It may need to be normalized. A stable circumstance will only become a reality when the drugs are available.” Taiwan has had no new confirmed cases for 14 consecutive days and it is understood that the CDC is planning to loosen some preventative measures such as social distancing, restriction of hospital visits, and business activities. However, the officials emphasized that scientific data will be needed and used to further assess the condition. Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-Chung indicated: “All preventative measures are being discussed, not limited to our 3-phases preparations. When the situation improves in the future, we will do certain preparation for lessening the preventative measures based on the scientific evidence.” He added: “I hope the good situation continues to keep up, and everyone continues to be cautious but not overly nervous.”
