Taipei, Feb. 3 (CNA) Behavioral changes in Taiwan aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19 have likely had a positive spillover effect, driving deaths from pneumonia and influenza to their lowest levels in 10 years, according to the results of a recent study.
The study, authored by Wayne Gao (高志文) and Mattia Sanna of Taipei Medical University s College of Public Health, set out to examine the possibility that undocumented COVID-19 deaths have occurred in Taiwan, and to assess whether behavioral changes made in response to the pandemic have affected the number of deaths from various causes.
