After news broke last week that a Taiwanese woman had contracted COVID-19 after traveling around the north for several days with a New Zealander cargo pilot, city governments and companies have started to announce cancelations or postponements of New Year s Eve festivities. On Monday (Dec. 28), New Taipei City s Mayor Hou You-yi (侯友宜) announced that the city s fireworks display would be postponed due to the difficulty of carrying out onsite real-name registration for a large crowd.
