The CECC has instructed a co-worker of the patient, who traveled to Taiwan with him and has tested negative, to quarantine again. In addition, the hotel staff and taxi drivers the patient came into contact with have been instructed to follow self-health management protocols, Chuang said. The other two, including the newly confirmed patient, initially tested negative for the disease but developed a cough and sore throat, so were tested again, Chuang said. The remaining patient is a woman in her 20s from Philippines, who tested negative in the three days before her flight to Taiwan, Chuang said. According to Chuang, 20 migrant workers from Philippines and 11 from Indonesia have tested positive for coronavirus in Taiwan so far.
