TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Health authorities in Taiwan are quarantining 5,000 people while looking for the source of two new coronavirus cases linked to a hospital. The man had stayed at the hospital for three days for health problems unrelated to COVID-19, while his wife looked after him. Those asked to quarantine include patients who were discharged from the hospital between Jan. 6-19, and their caregivers. Taiwan is on higher alert after the latest domestic cluster, which has now seen 15 cases from the hospital in Taoyuan.
