Entry restrictions on foreign visitors to #Taiwan have been extended from #China to #HongKong and #Macao. To stop the spread of the #coronavirus, the Central Epidemic Command Center has designated the two locations as Level 2 alert regions.
Commencing Feb. 7, foreign visitors who have visited Hong Kong and Macao in the past 14 days will be barred from entry with the exception of residents holding a valid ARC. Such individuals will be granted entry but must self-isolate at home for 14 days and carefully monitor their health. No more visas will be issued even for urgent cases. The restrictions on foreign visitors who have been to China in the past 14 days remain in place.
Regarding the mask purchase ?, starting from Feb. 6, anyone wanting to get a mask can go to one of 6,505 NHI contracted pharmacies and buy two masks by presenting their NHI or ARC card. Visitors with neither of these may use their Entry/Exit Permit. The days you may purchase on are decided according to the final digit of your ID number, with everyone free to purchase on Sundays.
Each person may only buy two per week, so please use them wisely!
