Taiwan is one of the countries in Asia which has few coronavirus cases. Without imposing a lockdown, Taiwan has recorded only 443 positive cases of the coronavirus with 7 dead up to now.
Despite its success, Taiwan is still aware of the consequences of the corona pandemic. Taiwan realizes the life and social fabric of its citizens. It has adopted a series of policies to safeguard the lives of post-corona citizens into a new normal life pattern.
Taiwan approaches coronavirus by involving integration and coordination. Government institutions and the cooperation of civil society are the key to the success of the state to dispel corona.
Quoting NBC News, Taiwan imposed a new set of policies as a new normal pattern life ranging from ensuring self-protection supplies to other sets of rules.
Record the history of the movement of residents and migrants
Taiwan applies rules for residents and new arrivals at the airport to check their body temperature and hand over cellphones. Later, health authorities will record the details of the owner’s travel history via GPS on the cellphone through the telecommunications operator’s connection.
When the passenger refuses to be inspected, the police will intervene the owners. Then, the authorities will send a short message in the sense of evicting because it is categorized as an offense. Besides, cellphone owners have to pay the US $ 3.33 to the US $ 333.33.
Taxis and quarantine hotels to prevent a pandemic
To reduce the potential for transmission, tourists or foreigners who have just arrived in Taiwan must not use public transportation. The government provides special taxis to serve destinations from the airport to quarantine or hospital facilities.
This special taxi at a glance looks like a taxi in general. However, the driver routinely disinfects the vehicle when completing the trip and is not allowed to take passengers other than the airport.
The government pays taxi drivers the US $ 116 per day, even when they do not have passengers to be escorted to the quarantine center. Thus, taxi drivers must not carry passengers like taxis in general.
After a month of delivering passengers, it is the turn of the taxi drivers and their vehicles to quarantine for two weeks.
Safety standards in all buildings
The government checks the visitors’ body temperature, write their name, telephone number, and the facilities they use when visiting the building. Contact recording is carried out to speed up the search when the second wave of pandemic occurs.
The same thing applies to parents who take their children to school. Parents will undergo a body temperature test at the school gate. If they have a fever, they should go home and call the hospital for treatment.
As for shops and restaurants, visitors cannot sit side by side or the opposite. Besides, employees need to wear masks and routinely disinfect their work facilities after closing shops and restaurants.
Maintain a safe distance and personal hygiene equipment
The government ensures that residents receive adequate supplies of hand masks and hand sanitizers in all public spaces and private homes. There is at least one disinfectant bottle or a hand washing dispenser.
The government has said that the community has adhered to voluntary social distance guidelines. They should keep a distance of 1.5 meters when indoors and one meter when outdoors.
The government limits unimportant meetings to a maximum of one hundred people indoors, while outside the room does not exceed 150 people.
