TAIPEI, July 8 — Taiwan will partially ease its Covid-19 curbs next week but will officially maintain its existing alert level until later in the month, Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said on Thursday, as its domestic outbreak continues to stabilise.
Those measures will be partially eased on July 13, but the Level 3 alert level will stay in place until July 26, Chen said. Curbs that will remain include no wedding banquets, no indoor family gatherings of more than five people and restricted numbers of people allowed in supermarkets and traditional wet markets. Wearing face masks both inside and outside will remain mandatory.“Let’s work hard for this,” he said.
