The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday reported two new imported cases of COVID-19, while it refused to confirm from which companies the government had purchased vaccines.
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥), who is also CECC spokesman, said that the two new cases were migrant workers who had not reported any symptoms since arriving in Taiwan.
One is a Filipina in her 30s who arrived on Nov. 30 and provided a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test conducted within three days of boarding her flight.
