Taiwan’s cold snap leads to food delivery dilemmas
Residents in Taiwan are facing difficulties in getting food delivery services due to persistently low temperatures. The Central Weather Administration issued a cold weather warning, with the lowest temperature dropping to eight degrees Celsius across the country. As a result, many people have chosen to stay indoors, leading to a surge in online complaints about limited delivery options and self-pickup only. Some speculate that couriers are avoiding orders due to the cold weather and low delivery fees, which are as low as NT$30-40 per delivery. This has prompted discussions about the need for higher wages and better working conditions for couriers.2024/01/24 15:54 -
Taiwan faces poor air quality as China’s pollution drifts
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) has forecasted that northeasterly winds carrying pollutants from Shanghai have intensified over the past 24 hours, leading to poor air quality in Taiwan between Friday and Sunday. The western half of Taiwan has been issued an orange code alert for air quality, with some areas potentially reaching red alert statuses. The CWA warns that air quality is unlikely to improve in the next two days, with the southern regions expected to experience an accumulation of pollution due to weaker winds. The Ministry of Environment advises the public, especially sensitive groups like the elderly and children, to minimize outdoor activities and reduce the use of public transportation to help lessen the emission of pollutants. Residents are urged to stay updated and take necessary precautions to protect their health.2023/11/24 17:40
