As the Taiwan government gears up to fight a small and unusual outbreak of locally transmitted Covid-19 cases, some in the medical community have expressed concerns about Taiwan not receiving vaccines it purchased as expected. Some have also suggested that the island should not snub China-made vaccines amid the global jostling for vaccines.
Taipei, Jan. 30 (CNA) Taiwan reported four more domestically transmitted COVID-19 cases linked to a recent cluster infection in Taoyuan General Hospital on Saturday, including one death, bringing the total number of cases related to the cluster to 19, according to health authorities.
TAIPEI - As the Taiwan government gears up to fight a small and unusual outbreak of locally transmitted Covid-19 cases, some in the medical community have expressed concerns about Taiwan not receiving vaccines it purchased as expected, with some suggesting the island should not snub China-made vaccines amid the global jostling for vaccines.
After an enviable streak of zero domestic cases since April last year, Taiwan s steely defence against the global pandemic cracked with a cluster of Covid-19 infections linked to a hospital in Taoyuan, a city that adjoins Taipei.
The cluster was traced to an isolated Covid-19 patient at the Taoyuan General Hospital who had spread the disease to a doctor, whose test result turned out to be positive on Jan 12 - the first time a doctor has been infected in Taiwan since the outbreak began last year.
