Health Minister and CECC head Chen Shih-chung announced at a press conference on Wednesday (April 22), that the recent COVID-19 cluster infection in Taiwan's naval "Goodwill Fleet" will not bring the country to a complete nationwide lockdown, according to CNA.
Chen attended the Taiwan Cabinet’s conference on the progress of economic development on Wednesday morning. Responding to questions from reporters, Chen stated that everyone must be careful but that overall Taiwan has gone almost 10 days without any local cases.
