All business travelers must complete 14 days of mandatory quarantine, followed by an additional seven days of self -health management. Starting from tomorrow all business travelers arriving in Taiwan, irrespective of which country they are from, will be required to undergo 14 days of quarantine rather than the shorter periods some of them currently enjoy, health authorities announced Wednesday, CNA reports. Fewer than 20 business travelers have obtained the entry approval that will allow them to be exempt from the new quarantine rules, CECC spokesman Chuang Jen-hsiang told CNA. Those from low risk countries can apply to have their quarantine lifted on the fifth day after arrival, while those from low-to-moderate risk countries can do so after seven days. The shorter quarantine policy for business travelers was part of the nation's efforts to revitalize the domestic economy amid the pandemic.
