The COVID-19 pandemic has become severe in Taiwan. As the number of confirmed cases continues to rise in Taipei and New Taipei City, hospitals are slowly moving toward maximum capacity.
To address the situation, some pan-blue camp politicians and media personalities have proposed building mobile field hospitals.
Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who also heads the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), said that such efforts are not needed at this time.
In Chinese field hospitals, for example, positive but asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and people with mild symptoms are kept in the same open space without strict isolation and infection prevention equipment.
