On January 19, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that due to the escalating coronavirus situation in India and Southeast Asia and to prevent the virus from entering Taiwan, the testing measure required for travelers upon arrival will be expanded to travelers arriving on flights from India and Southeast Asia (the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) starting 00:00 on January 20, 2022 (incoming flight scheduled arrival time). Travelers arriving on flights from those countries will be required to take a government-funded rapid RT-PCR test when their flight touches down. Travelers testing negative can proceed to complete entry procedures and should take a quarantine vehicle to a quarantine hotel/government quarantine facility where they will complete quarantine; those testing positive will have their passports and entry documents inspected by designated personnel before being transported to a designated hospital or a government quarantine facility/enhanced quarantine hotel from the airside of the airport by ambulance.
