CECC reports zero local and seven imported casesCAUTION: People who were not infected with COVID-19 recently do still pose a risk to people with compromised immune systems, a hospital deputy superintendent saidBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday reported seven imported COVID-19 cases, but no locally transmitted infections or deaths. The cases were Taiwanese, Burmese and Indonesian nationals, who arrived from Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore between Sept. 27 and Friday, the CECC said in a news release. However, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital deputy superintendent Chiu Cheng-hsun (邱政洵) said that contract tracing should be conducted for such cases. Contact tracing would also help confirm that the cases have not recently had contact with an infected person, he added. To end the standoff, the deputy superintendent reportedly ordered staff to vaccinate the 42.
