Taiwanese who have been removed from household registration records due to the COVID-19 pandemic can re-enroll into the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme upon returning to Taiwan without the normal six-month wait, 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 the pandemic has made international travel more difficult, so the rights and interests of some overseas Taiwanese might have been harmed, as they could not return home.
Government agencies have made adjustments to regulations to reduce possible damage to the rights and interests of overseas Taiwanese, Chen said.
