The large crowds at popular scenic areas and tourist spots over the four-day holiday that ended on Sunday triggered concerns about the risk of COVID-19 transmissions. A worker sanitizes a cartoon figure inspired by the drawings of artist Jimmy Liao at Jimmy Park next to Yilan Railway Station yesterday. Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung talks to reporters during the Central Epidemic Command Center’s daily news conference in Taipei yesterday. The government cannot provide a comprehensive definition of “crowded places” and it is up to every person to protect themselves, their coworkers and their family when making such decisions, he said. The CECC would not ban all business activities, but it would adjust policies according to the current situation, with “disease prevention the priority,” he said.
