Fifty-three per cent, or
approximately 1 in 2 people tested are positive.
The government quarantine transit
stations are currently holding 324 people; 210 people are isolating
at the Budapest and 114 at the Menen.
It has been reported that some
occupants of these stations have vandalised the showers and rooms.
Police will look into these cases.
Please refrain from damaging the
quarantine facilities. We must take care of the rooms for the next
occupants.
The total number of houses around
the island that are in lockdown is 424 with 1,930 residents. The
government is offering cartons of water and noodles, and the Taiwan
Technical Mission is providing eggs to these houses in lockdown.
The delivery teams will reach you in due time, please be
patient.
As of Saturday 25 June, 351
children aged 5-11 received their vaccination at the Aiue
Boulevard.
Entry is at the Aiwo tennis court
where children will undergo COVID test before vaccination.
Get your child vaccinated. There is
no harm and there may be benefit to your child if they receive the
vaccine and then get COVID soon after.
If your child has already been
infected with COVID during this outbreak, you can wait until late
September for the first dose and then take the second dose 3-4
weeks later.
There are still reports of people
that have tested positive leaving their homes and that some people
are starting to gather in groups and socialising.
There is a lot of virus spreading
in the community and we need everyone to help slow the spread so we
protect the vulnerable.
Gatherings are not allowed. Only
three people are allowed in any place such as shops.
We need to emphasise that at this
time, everyone is asked to stay at home unless going out for:
- Essential work
- Buy food and supplies (buy online
where you can)
- Get tested or seek medical
care
- Emergencies
Wear a mask once you leave your
house.
Important numbers to remember:
191 - to ask to have a COVID test
done
192 - to report your positive test
result if you did your own test
5565186 - to request for
accommodation at the quarantine stations if you cannot self-isolate
at home
