【How Taiwan Curbs the COVID-19 Outbreak 臺灣防疫機制成效備受國際肯定與仿傚】
Learning from the previous experience of the SARS outbreak, 🇹🇼Taiwan was among the first countries to act early to prevent the virus from spreading.👏👏👏 Taiwan's medical care system has long been globally recognized for its exceptionally high standards and is always willing to share experiences and contribute to global epidemic prevention. 🔽The measures taken by Taiwan to curb COVID-19 included the following:
1⃣ Establish a Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC): 成立「 中央流行疫情指揮中心」，快速整合官方及民間力量，防止疫情擴散👇
Taiwan acted swiftly to establish a centralized operational and communication command center which was authorized to integrate necessary resources across the government and networks of public health experts to work collaboratively on outbreak prevention.
2⃣ Enforcing stringent visa and immigration control measures: 即時針對訪客及移民，實施管制措施👇
Visitors were either restricted entry or quarantined. Simultaneously, Taiwan deployed active surveillance and screening systems such as infrared thermal image scanning (ITIS) at all major airports and ports.
3⃣ Leverage and apply data analytics & information technology: 整合應用醫療及旅遊數據分析，方便醫師快速診斷👇
Taiwan fast integrated academic and IT experts to build up management system for the coordination of health and travel data, which facilitated doctors to immediately check the patient's travel history.
4⃣ Implement a transparent & timely system reporting: 即時系統向大眾公開發布最新疫情👇CECC put in place a toll-free Communicable Disease Reporting and Consultation Hotline (1922) for the general public to report anytime and anywhere when there were concerns.
5⃣ Educate the public extensively on preventive measures: 加強對大眾宣導及防範措施👇
CECC proactively communicated daily with the public on the latest updates of the outbreak, including details on how new patients might have gotten sick and whether anyone else might be infected.
6⃣ Manage face mask production & distribution effectively: 發揮國家力量提升口罩產能及通路運作👇
The government swiftly collaborated with local industry technology research institutes and smart machinery & automation sectors to increase mask production to meet demands domestically. At the same time, the government rapidly stockpiled all masks in Taiwan and enforced a real-name purchase policy that only allowed people to purchase a limited number of masks per week. Smartphone apps were also quickly developed to inform citizens where masks were available for purchase and how many were left in stock.
