Taiwan will further ease its restrictions related to control of the coronavirus, the government has said as the island has kept the pandemic well in hand with only six active cases and no local transmission for 56 days.

Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Centre said that it would lift restrictions limiting the number of people who could participate in “daily life and leisure events”, though people should continue to wear face masks if they were unable to socially distance.

However, border entry restrictions remain, with authorities wary of a second wave of infections coming in from countries where the pandemic is still raging, such as the United States and Britain.

According to Reuters, Taiwan has reported 443 cases, the majority of which were in people who got infected overseas, and just seven deaths.
