(Recasts, updates throughout)
TAIPEI, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Taiwan s EVA Airways Corp sacked a New Zealand pilot on Wednesday whom the government has blamed for the island s first locally transmitted case of COVID-19 since April 12 because he failed to follow disease prevention rules.
Taiwan has kept the pandemic well under control thanks to early and effective prevention methods and widespread use of masks, with all new cases for more than the last 250 days being among travellers arriving on the island.
But the government was jolted by Tuesday s announcement of the domestic infection of a woman who is a friend of a New Zealand pilot confirmed to have been infected earlier this week having flown routes to the United States.
