COVID-19: Five imported cases reportedSTUDENTS SAY YES: Surveys showed that more than 94 percent of high-school students in Taipei and New Taipei City intend to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccineBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday reported five imported cases of COVID-19 and no new locally transmitted cases or deaths. “We are happy to see zero new local cases today, but we also observed the daily case counts for the whole month of August,” Chen said. “Aside from a few days in which about eight or nine local cases were reported in a cluster of infections, the daily case count of local infections remained below five,” he said. “We will need to collect more data to determine whether actions such as these have affected the local COVID-19 situation,” he added. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥), who is the CECC’s spokesperson, said surveys show that COVID-19 vaccination intention rates among high-school students are above 94 percent.
