The quarantine requirement for arriving travelers will be reduced from 7 days to 3, starting June 15, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said Tuesday, as Taiwan opts to live with COVID-19.
1. Arriving travelers will start their three-day quarantine the day after obtaining a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result upon arrival, Chen said during a CECC briefing.
2. The government will provide travelers with two rapid tests, one of which is to be taken on the last day (the 3th day) of quarantine and the other only if they develop symptoms during the quarantine period, he said.
3. Travelers must quarantine under a one-person-one-residence rule, otherwise they should stay in a quarantine hotel.
4. Family members or groups traveling together can stay in the same residence or hotel room, Chen said, however, it is recommended no more than two people stay in the same room at a hotel as any more would be too crowded.
5. Travelers should observe four-days of self-health management from day four, during which time they can go out but are prohibited from eating in restaurants or attending large-scale events.
