Commuters should ensure that their EasyCard, iPass and other electronic ticket cards have their name and telephone number on them for better contact tracing for COVID-19, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said yesterday.
Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the center, said that local officials voiced concern about people spreading the virus on their commute between Taipei and New Taipei City, as most of them take the cities’ MRT railway or public bus systems.
