Share
On November 1, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that the quarantine measure of a 14-day quarantine followed by a 7-day self-health management will remain in place from December 14, 2021 to February 14, 2022, as the pandemic continues to subside in Taiwan and the COVID-19 vaccination rates in some countries have increased. The decision was made given that the Lunar New Year holiday approaches and there is a strong need for overseas Taiwanese residents to travel back home. Adjustments to related measures are listed below.
A. People arriving in Taiwan from key high-risk countries shall observe the 14-day quarantine at group quarantine facilities.
B. Other travelers arriving Taiwan from countries other than key high-risk countries will be required to stay in a quarantine hotel or a group quarantine facility at their own expense for the first 10 days of quarantine after arrival; for the remaining four days of quarantine, they can return home to complete the quarantine period.
