Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung, right, gestures during a radio interview in Taipei yesterday. The teen had not shown any virus symptoms since his arrival, but on Saturday last week was tested by local health authorities, it said. Changhua County Public Health Bureau Director Yeh Yen-po is pictured in the county yesterday. Chen said that the Changhua bureau had conducted virus tests for hundreds of people under quarantine over the past six months without informing the CECC. However, Yeh’s comments sparked debate over whether local testing procedures might differ from the CECC’s policies and create loopholes in disease prevention measures.
