TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Three Filipinas and three Indonesian men were confirmed as Taiwan's latest coronavirus cases on Saturday (April 3), bringing the country's total infections to 1,045, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).
All six of the new cases had come to Taiwan for work, and all tested positive for the coronavirus after completing their 14-day mandatory quarantine. None of them have shown any symptoms since their arrival.
The three Filipinas, who are in their 20s and 30s, presented proof of a negative COVID test issued within three days of their flight to Taiwan in mid-March. After their quarantine period had ended, they underwent a COVID test at their own expense Thursday (April 1) and were confirmed to have the disease Saturday (April 3).
