Premier recommends 5 dos and 5 don'ts of fighting COVID-19

:::

Premier Su Tseng-chang on Thursday received a briefing from the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the latest COVID-19 situation and response. Aside from asking the public to commit to five dos and five don'ts, he instructed ministries and agencies to consider possible actions that are conducive to disease control from the perspectives of users and the public.

The five dos the premier asked of the public are: (1) Wear masks outside the home and maintain social distancing. (2) Comply with all COVID measures whether at home or out. (3) Follow daily announcements from the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC). (4) Use the contact tracing text messaging service when visiting stores and other venues. (5) Those in the CECC's priority vaccination groups should get inoculated.

The five don'ts are: (1) Don't leave home unless necessary. (2) Don't congregate in groups unless necessary. (3) Don't rush to get COVID-19 testing. (4) Don't panic shop or hoard supplies. (5) Don't create, spread, or accept misinformation as true.

The government is also strengthening many aspects of its disease prevention campaign, the premier said. Among the efforts, the CECC is convening an additional meeting every morning to ensure that nationwide measures are aligned to the same standards and that consistent and correct information is provided for the public. The government is also expediting the establishment of more testing stations, facilitating faster transport of confirmed cases, as well as expanding quarantine hotels and centralized quarantine facilities.

Regarding a recent surge of pandemic disinformation, the government will tackle the issue as a matter of national security with new countermeasures and preventive mechanisms. It will especially look into whether the fake news is initiated by hostile foreign forces that are attempting to attack, undermine or challenge Taiwan's response capabilities amid the recent outbreaks, Premier Su said.
