A COVID-19 “travel bubble” between Taiwan and Palau is expected to resume on Saturday at the earliest, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said yesterday, as it reported 12 locally transmitted COVID-19 infections and two deaths.
The “travel bubble” which allows travel between Taiwan and Palau with eased disease prevention requirements was launched in April, but suspended the following month due to a COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan.
The center received and reviewed documents on reopening the travel bubble, and the disease prevention measures are unchanged from before, said Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the center.
