Discover the latest on Taiwan’s COVID-19 situation: CDC predicts the sixth wave’s peak in mid-July with cases possibly exceeding 100,000. Learn about the government’s response and antiviral drug supply updates.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has begun distributing COVID-19 rapid test kits to travelers at Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei. The kits are available in the reception areas and exit halls of both terminals, and each traveler is eligible to receive one kit regardless of age. The decision was made in response to the increasing rates of respiratory diseases worldwide. The CDC Deputy Director-General, Philip Lo, stated that the peak of the COVID-19 surge in Taiwan is expected to be in mid-to-late January, with a possible rise after the Lunar New Year holidays. Travelers have expressed appreciation for the policy, with many noting how thoughtful and helpful the Taiwanese government is. The distribution of test kits may continue after the Lunar New Year holidays, depending on the international and domestic pandemic conditions.

Taiwan further relaxed its epidemic-prevention measures on Nov. 7, including removing infrared cameras from some MRT stations.
