The president of Taiwan outlined how the state contained the coronavirus spread with less than 400 confirmed cases
explaining how the state managed its coronavirus outbreak with less than 400 cases.
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen wrote the state learned from the "painful lessons" of the SARS outbreak in 2003, which left Taiwan "scarred with the loss of dozens of lives." Upon first reports of the coronavirus throughout China in December and into January, Taiwan began to monitor people entering the state and made arrangements for travel restrictions and quarantine measures, Tsai wrote.
Tsai said Taiwan was even prepared in the instance of panic-buying by monitoring market spikes for essential supplies "at an early stage," and the government took over production and rationing of masks to ensure the company would be adequately stocked.
