COVID-19: NPP slams military’s disease prevention measures

New Power Party (NPP) Legislator Claire Wang (王婉諭) on Sunday accused the military of having inadequate disease prevention measures, a day after the military confirmed its first case.
Military dining facilities had shared-use utensils, and tables were separated by dividers that were too low, she said, adding that bunks in the sleeping quarters were separated with plastic bags or kitchen-grade plastic wrap.
“Will the military be ready when draftees report for duty on Monday?” she asked.
Those who had been in close contact with the infected officer have so far tested negative for COVID-19, but authorities are still investigating whether the officer was on the base while he was contagious, Wang said.
Military at peacetime readiness

Staff writer, with CNA
The nation’s armed forces remain at “normal combat readiness status,” despite tensions across the Taiwan Strait and a foreign magazine calling Taiwan “the most dangerous place on Earth,” Deputy Minister of National Defense Chang Che-ping (張哲平) said yesterday.
The military continuously adjusts the number of troops on alert depending on developments in the security situation around Taiwan, Chang told a meeting of the legislature’s Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee.
