The Central Epidemic Command Center has confirmed 107 new local infections
today, along with 2 imported cases and 11 deaths.

New Taipei continues to have the most new cases at 44, followed by Taipei at
31.

Health Minister Chen Shih-chung notes that the majority of new confirmed
cases were recorded in people who were already in quarantine.

He also points out that there are some 11 hundred patients in hospital for
COVID-19, and the number is gradually going down.

Regarding reports of deaths linked to people receiving coronavirus vaccines,
he says none of those deaths have been conclusively linked to the jabs so
far, and all the patients who died had underlying chronic conditions.

Chen also thanked the government and people of the United States for its
donation of 2.5 million doses of Moderna vaccine.

Those doses arrived in Taiwan late this afternoon.
