2020 is definitely an impactful year for people around the world. No one has expected the COVID-19 pandemic to have such far-reaching consequences for human society. To date, over 100 million people have been infected and 2.3 million of people have died of the virus. Taiwan is also affected by the pandemic. As of February 10, a total of 935 COVID-19 cases, including 9 deaths, were confirmed in Taiwan. Compared to the COVID-19 outbreaks in other countries, Taiwan’s response to COVID-19 has been rather effective.
Such a successful outcome of Taiwan’s approach to tackling the pandemic is anything but coincidental. Besides continuously fine-tuning and improving the country’s disease prevention strategies, the collective efforts of entire nation have also helped contribute to minimizing the impact of the pandemic on the people’s daily lives. As we further optimize Taiwan’s containment of the pandemic, we demonstrate Taiwan’s successful management of the pandemic, establishing the “Taiwan Model” for combating COVID-19 that has been widely recognized by the international community.
