Diplomats, flight crews, and those with permanent resident cards will be exempt from the restriction. Anyone entering the country will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.  The number of COVID-19 cases in Taiwan was particularly stable until recently, as during the past week the count has jumped from 50 to 100 -- the bulk of which were imported from Europe, Dubai, and the United States.
