The CECC is reconsidering mask requirements while outdoors in areas where there are few people, Chen said. Taiwan yesterday reported 11 new cases, all contracted overseas, and one death. It is part of 15 million Pfizer-BioNTech doses procured by three private entities — the Hon Hai-affiliated Yonglin Foundation, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation. All 15 million doses are to be donated to the government’s public vaccination program. Yesterday’s shipment brought the total number of Pfizer-BioNTech doses delivered from the 15 million to about 2.98 million, CECC data showed.
