Taipei City’s home isolation has exceeded 20,000. If the number of confirmed cases rises once more, the number of people living in isolation will explode. Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe said that there may already be cases where people need to be released from home isolation before they receive a notice, which has caused the entire system. Something went wrong.
Ke Wenzhe said that 3 days of home isolation is still not enough for some units, such as medical treatment and epidemic prevention, the first category of personnel, the second category of government epidemic prevention personnel, and the third category of epidemic prevention hotels. If someone is diagnosed, the entire hotel will be quarantined. How to take care of the victim inside? If it is the social welfare system, there are many elderly people. If one caregiver is diagnosed, then everyone will be quarantined, and all of them will be suspended. Therefore, from now on, the first, second, third, fifth, and seventh categories of people are all applicable to screening instead of isolation, as long as Personnel who have received three doses of vaccine do not need to be quarantined at home for the first 3 days, but they must be screened quickly every day.
Ke Wenzhe said frankly that if he did not do this, it would be unrealistic for hospitals and nursing homes to be closed, and there might be fish that slip through the net, but the system should not collapse. The changes are too fast. Yesterday, the central government announced “3+4”. We tried our best to find a way to implement the order, but there were difficulties.
