Taiwan has been model for how to control the pandemic, but its increase in domestic infections, though not exploding, has alarmed the government, which has limited gatherings and closed entertainment venues.
Health Minister Chen Shih-chung, speaking at his daily news briefing, said he was concerned at a rise in younger people getting infected, who may not be taking curbs as seriously and meeting when they shouldn't be.However, he said it was still "too early" to talk about going into Taiwan's highest alert level, which would be an effective lockdown, something the government has not had to do since the pandemic began.
The figure was an increase from 549 reported on Wednesday, which also included cases from previous days.
Taiwan doesn't even have ability to do massive test. it is such a joke and politicians keep bragging about they did a very good job. it happened for more a year still more than 100 people die because of government wrongdoing. blood is on Caiyingwen's hand
