Taipei, May 18 (CNA) Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) said that COVID-19 infections in Taiwan would likely peak in the next seven days, as daily domestic case numbers hit a new single-day high of 85,310 Wednesday.
The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday strongly urged confirmed COVID-19 cases to make sure the cellphone number they leave when receiving a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is correct, as all disease prevention notifications would be sent to that number.
Victor Wang (王必勝), deputy head of the CECC’s medical response division, also asked personnel at PCR testing stations and healthcare facilities to confirm the phone numbers with test recipients.
Test result notifications are sent as text messages to test recipients, so having the correct phone number is crucial to following administrative procedures after being confirmed as a COVID-19 case, he said.
