quote:

Taipei, Feb. 24 (CNA) Short-term business travelers from countries deemed to be at low or low-to-moderate risk of COVID-19 will be able to apply for shorter quarantine periods again from March 1, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said Wednesday.

Taiwan began allowing certain business travelers to be quarantined for only five or seven days rather than the normal 14 days from June 22, although the CECC paused the policy on Jan. 1 in light of a new variant of the COVID-19 virus that was found to be more transmissible.

The CECC is now restoring the policy to what was in place prior to Jan. 1 in an effort to normalize international business activity and boost the domestic economy, the center said in a press release.

To qualify, business travelers must enter from a country deemed to be at low or low-to-moderate risk of COVID-19 and they cannot have traveled to any other country or region in the 14 days prior to entering Taiwan.

The travelers must provide proof issued by a legally registered Taiwanese company that they are indeed in Taiwan to conduct business, a planned itinerary of their trip, a COVID-19 prevention plan, and a negative COVID-19 test result issued within three days of their departure for Taiwan.

The COVID-19 prevention plan should include how the Taiwanese company will minimize any possible spread of the disease during the traveler's visit, such as whether they will have designated restrooms, according to the CECC.

Once in Taiwan, travelers from low-risk countries can apply to have their quarantines lifted on the fifth day after their arrival, while those from low to moderate-risk countries can do so after seven days, as long as they test negative for COVID-19.

From the time they leave quarantine until their 14th day in Taiwan, they will not be allowed to visit any crowded places or use public transportation.

They must also wear masks, practice social distancing and record their daily activities and the people they meet. They have to be accompanied at all times, according to the CECC.

They must stay at government-mandated quarantine hotels for the first two weeks of their visit.

From the 15th to 21st day of their trip, business travelers should follow self-health management protocols, such as taking their temperature twice daily and avoiding visiting public places.

The current list of countries and regions the CECC deems to be at low risk of COVID-19 are New Zealand, Macau, Palau, Fiji, Brunei, Laos, Nauru, Timor-Leste, Mauritius, the Marshall Islands and Bhutan.

The CECC listed Australia, Singapore, Vietnam and Cambodia as being of low-to-moderate risk.

gently caress gently caress gently caress take it back please!!! The good thing is these ARE low risk countries, but still I really hate the bullshit of letting people not complete 14-day quarantines just for the sake of number. This policy didn't gently caress us over earlier, but there weren't more contagious variants everywhere the last time this policy was still in place. And nobody is vaccinated here yet. And nobody wears anything better than a surgical mask. God drat it we are so close to making it out of this okay here gently caress

Longtime CSPAM lurker, wanted to share my family’s COVID story, yay

So my young, mid 20s family member married a trumper type guy who didn’t believe in COVID, cool. they got married this summer “safely” by offering guests masks (nobody wore them, also I did not go, nor did my parents)

in January they were tired of being ‘good’ and staying in so they went to a NYE party

a week later she’s diagnosed w/ COVID

starts getting low oxygen, vomiting, can’t breathe, goes to the hospital w/ her parents because her husband thought she was being dramatic

came back home from the ER with an oxygen tank to use at home. her brother was headed back to college and she wanted to hug him goodbye, her parents told her gtfo

a few days later she’s laying in bed, still sick. suddenly she decides that laying on the floor is more comfortable. her husband yells at her to get back in the bed. she stops talking

he starts CPR, calls 911. at the hospital, she’s in a coma, unresponsive. severe problems with most of her bodily organs, except her heart was good I guess. too fragile to do a CT scan but initial signs show she’s hosed. eventually do a scan. no brain activity. blood clot from COVID went to her brain. her parents two days later have to pull their newly married young daughter off of life support, as soon as the machines are shut off she doesn’t even take a breath on her own

her husband believes in COVID now lol. i think she probably got it from him rather than the NYE party because of the timeline/his mask refusal and working w/ the public. guess we’ll never know

thank goodness we can go back to normal, don’t you know that 99.5% of people survive???

Do NOT do this because it is considered a blue-collar crime and can get you in serious trouble.

If instead you manage an “essential” business [from home] or “work in financial services” or donate money to a fancy school’s PTA, then you’re eligible for a shot with no overt grift and everyone will praise you for being brave and helping build herd immunity and raising awareness.

Honestly you can't and that's really a big part of the reason why everything sucks. They ripped out the just-do stuff-lever and now you have to hire McKinsey to figure out how to do stuff. And they tell you to send the Covid patients into long term care facilities or to create a forge prove mask voucher program, because they need to justify their existence and fees.

Considering 65+ people are struggling to get shots here when they are basically the only people eligible I imagine they're fully left by the wayside in states that have opened it up to basically anybody.
