Virus Outbreak: CECC reports 2 imported casesBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday reported two new imported cases of COVID-19, while it refused to confirm from which companies the government had purchased vaccines. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥), who is also CECC spokesman, said that the two new cases were migrant workers who had not reported any symptoms since arriving in Taiwan. Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung talks to reporters about COVID-19 vaccines during a visit to Chiayi County yesterday. The other case is an Indonesian in his 30s who also arrived on Nov. 30 and provided a negative PCR test result. That brought the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Taiwan to 742, 650 of which were imported, he said.
