South Korea has listed China’s Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan as inadvisable travel destinations, and has also tightened entry quarantine controls for travelers from these countries. The Central Epidemic Command Center has clarified that there is no community transmission in Taiwan, but will still respect South Korea’s policy for now.

In fact, South Korea has 24 confirmed cases, which is more than Taiwan’s, but it mistakenly believed Taiwan had community transmission. Coupled with Chinese tourists stockpiling certain supplies while traveling in South Korea, the country has become alert to the situation.

In response to confirmed cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia in mainland China and 26 other countries and regions worldwide, all incoming flights to Taiwan from non-China, Hong Kong, and Macau regions will require passengers to fill out an “Entry Health Declaration Form” starting today. Violators may face fines of up to NT$150,000.
 
Travelers must also truthfully indicate whether they have traveled to or had contact with epidemic areas such as China, Hong Kong, and Macau within the 14 days prior to entry.
 
Those who provide false information or engage in refusal, evasion, or obstruction of the process may be subject to fines of up to NT$150,000 in accordance with the law.
 
Passengers on flights from China, Hong Kong, and Macau will continue to fill out the “Entry Health Declaration and Home Quarantine Notification Form” and must comply with home quarantine measures for 14 days upon entry.

Meanwhile, news broke late on the 10th that the Philippines has banned travelers from China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, leaving 500 Taiwanese tourists stranded. Filipino migrant workers preparing to return to Taiwan for work were also suddenly informed they could not enter, causing considerable shock.
