COVID-19 Cases Near Zero in Taiwan, But Restrictions Remain

Ralph Jennings

   TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Taiwan is reporting just one to six new COVID-19 cases
   per day. Schools, offices and restaurants are operating all but
   normally. But the island's government is expected to wait until the
   global pandemic improves before easing restrictions that have helped
   contain the spread of the virus but hurt a big swathe of the economy.

   Just one new case surfaced on April 5. Every other day since March 26,
   Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center has reported two to six new
   cases with no threat of a widespread community outbreak. Monday's case
   total reached five, bringing the overall count to 393 including six
   deaths and 114 recoveries.
