Minister of Health and Welfare Xue Ruiyuan spoke at the Legislative Yuan today regarding the exit conditions of the command center. He said that if the number of confirmed cases drops to 10,000 or less than 10,000, and the rate of severe cases does not increase, it can be judged that COVID-19 has become a flu, and it can be considered at this time, and there is a better chance in the first half of next year.
The Legislative Yuan Council today invited Chief Executive So Chung-cheong and the heads of relevant ministries to present as non-voting delegates to report on the preparation of the “112 Central Government General Budget” and the “Central Government’s Prospective Infrastructure Project 4th Special Budget” and prepare for inquiries.
When questioned by Kuomintang legislator Zeng Mingzong, he asked when the command center would leave. Xue Ruiyuan said that it is up to the Executive Yuan to decide whether to leave the venue, but since the epidemic has not yet ended, the command center still needs to exist.
Zeng Mingzong asked what the exit conditions of the command center were. Xue Ruiyuan said that, looking at the changes in the epidemic situation, if the number of confirmed cases drops to 10,000 or less than 10,000, and the severe case rate does not increase, it can be judged that COVID-19 has become a flu. “At this time, you can consider (exit)” .
Zeng Mingzong asked whether it was possible to achieve this goal before the end of the year, or the first half of next year. Xue Ruiyuan said that it is unlikely before the end of the year, and there is a chance in the first half of next year.
