Taiwan acted with incredible agility to the Coronavirus pandemic:

  • Jan 5: The government had implemented restrictions on flights from Wuhan.
  • Jan 30: Factories were producing 4 million masks a day.
  • Feb 6: all cruise ships were banned from docking at Taiwanese ports.
  • Feb 24: All travellers from affected countries were required to self-quarantine for 14 days, with heavy fines imposed for violations.
