PRIVACY SOUGHT:
A testing station has been set up, but media were asked not to photograph it, as it might put people off amid a cluster linked to adult businesses

The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday sent 600,000 text messages to people who had been in Taipei’s Wanhua District (萬華) between April 15 and Wednesday, asking them to be tested at designated community facilities if they have had symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or loss of taste or smell since April 15.
The center made the announcement after reporting 25 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, 13 locally transmitted and 12 imported.
