Taiwan has moved away from the “Zero Corona” policy, moving to a more coherent approach with the rest of the world, and a strict blockade moving from mainland China, which is still a communist modas. Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong were one of the last places in the world to fight to keep COVID-19 completely away from their territory. They were largely successful until the rise of Omicron variants spread around the world. A non-lethal but highly contagious version of COVID-19 has proven to be extremely difficult to stop, even in countries with the strictest precautions. -19 From the beginning of the pandemic to the end of January 2022 Taiwan was much more successful in preventing death, but as the number of incidents surged, authorities aimed to live with the virus rather than completely prevent it. We are heading for the policy. With low mortality, this move is more palatable to the population. A recent poll by the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation found that the population was almost evenly divided, with 45% supporting coexistence policies, while 46.3% did not. This is a big change from last summer when 58.8% were worried that the government would open too soon. Over 77% of respondents have approved the handling of pandemics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CECC) in Taiwan. According to Taiwanese authorities, 99.7% of cases were mild or asymptomatic. Still, they announced on Monday 12 new deaths out of 40,263 new cases. Since April, when Omicron began to spread throughout the island, 78 people have died. Authorities say they are aiming to prevent disasters rather than completely ending the infection. This means focusing on protecting vulnerable populations and vaccines rather than quarantine or contact tracing. Mild and asymptomatic cases are also encouraged to be quarantined at home rather than in the hospital. The transition has hit several road collisions. According to the Guardian, pharmacies are quickly running out of rapid tests, and hospitals are crowded with patients looking for treatment and tests. Messaging and communication are also issues. A 3-year-old boy died last month after health officials provided conflicting information to parents about whether they had to be taken to the hospital.

China, Taiwan, covid-19, Omicron strains
Taiwan and mainland China were the children of posters on how to stop the spread of COVID-19 with an incredibly tight blockade. But the Omicron variant tried it. And now, the island and the mainland treat illness differently.
Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong were one of the last places in the world to fight to keep COVID-19 completely away from their territory. They were largely successful until the rise of Omicron variants spread around the world. A non-lethal but highly infectious version of COVID-19 has proven to be extremely difficult to stop, even in countries with the strictest precautions.
A variant of Omicron struck relatively unvaccinated Hong Kong, killing thousands in a city where COVID-19 killed only 205 people from the beginning of the pandemic to the end of January 2022.
Taiwan has been much more successful in preventing death, but with the proliferation of incidents, authorities are moving towards policies aimed at living with the virus rather than completely preventing it.
According to Taiwanese authorities, 99.7% of cases were mild or asymptomatic. Still, they announced on Monday 12 new deaths out of 40,263 new cases. Since April, when Omicron began to spread throughout the island, it has raised the death toll to 78.
Officials say they are aiming to prevent disasters rather than terminating transmissions altogether. This means focusing on protecting vulnerable populations and vaccines rather than quarantine or contact tracing. Mild and asymptomatic cases are also encouraged to be quarantined at home rather than in the hospital.

Taiwan’s Prime Minister Su Tseng-chang contrasted the “new Taiwanese model” with Beijing’s ongoing zero COVID policy. “We are not as cruel as China in blocking countries and cities.”
However, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for China’s Taiwan Secretariat, swiped himself on Taiwan’s new policy. “You can calculate how many people will lose their lives [under Taiwan’s new model.]”
