Taiwan’s free quarantine leaves little cause for complaintDespite horror stories and complaints, government facilities are more than adequateBy James Baron / Contributing ReporterI’m writing this on a beachfront balcony with a spectacular ocean view. In March 2020, the BBC caused a kerfuffle by quoting the mother of a British tourist who had bemoaned the “prison-like” and “filthy” conditions of a quarantine facility in Hualien. In addition, CDC staff came to carry out two PCR tests on the first full day of our and the penultimate morning. Although CDC staff didn’t reveal our destination, this stretch of coast is distinctive. Of course, all bets are off in this COVID era as governments strive to strike a balance, but — based on my two weeks in quarantine — Taiwan continues to excel.
