Taipei, May 14 (CNA) Migrant workers without valid working documents will not be punished or deported if they take rapid COVID-19 tests at four testing sites soon to be set up by Taipei, the city's mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said Friday.
The new measure is being taken to encourage unlicensed migrant workers to get tested at a time when Taipei has been hit by cluster infections from the disease, especially in Wanhua District, Ko said at a press briefing.
