TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan will test arrivals from China for COVID-19 from January 1 in response to a surge in cases there, the government said on Wednesday, December 28, joining other countries in stepping up controls on people coming from China.
The government will conduct virus sequencing for those who arrive from China and test positive to track new variants of the coronavirus, it said in a statement. Many of those Taiwanese who live in China traditionally return to Taiwan for the Lunar New Year holiday, which falls next month.
