Beginning at midnight tonight, #Taiwan will be implementing new travel restrictions to prevent the transmission of #COVID19. Details:
Combating #Coronavirus & realizing #HealthForAll is deadly serious. From March 19, noncitizens—except those holding ARCs or visiting for approved business, diplomatic or special purposes—won’t be admitted to #Taiwan. In addition, all arrivals must undergo 14-day home quarantine.
#Taiwan & the #US are working hand in hand to combat #Coronavirus. The like-minded partners will pool R&D data & resources to develop cutting-edge & effective measures targeting #COVID19. Yes! Taiwan-U.S. cooperation & #ScienceDiplomacy can help realize @WHO's #HealthForAll.

#Taiwan has had to rely on itself to fight #Coronavirus, & the country's thriving despite the challenges. This #AllHandsOnDeck approach to #COVID19 embodied by Central Epidemic Command Center is part of the #TaiwanModel for combating the disease & realizing @WHO's #HealthForAll. twitter.com/ForeignPolicy/…
.@jacindaardern said when it comes to #COVID19, #NewZealand is "going to follow, pretty closely, the Taiwanese model. They worked up a framework for mass gatherings that’s been quite successful." Such praise is welcome, & #Taiwan stands ready to share its #Coronavirus know-how. twitter.com/NZStuffPolitic…
#Taiwan & the #US are ramping up #Coronavirus-fighting cooperation. @MOHW_Taiwan will share best practices & work even closer with #AIT to fast-track development of #COVID19 medicine & vaccines. Yes! Taiwan & the US can help realize @WHO's #HealthForAll. ait.org.tw/ait-will-enhan…

UN, you are wrong. we have female president since 2016, and 41% female Legislators in our parliament. There are 21 countries with a woman head, don't ignore Taiwan. #Taiwan
Our government continues to take a comprehensive, proactive approach to #COVID19, and I have issued five directives to address the pandemic’s possible impact on #Taiwan's economy. Details here: english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/5984
#Taiwan is missing from this map of countries with female leaders. President @iingwen was recently reelected by a clear majority. @UN_Women should recognize her governance of a free & prosperous democracy.
#Taiwan is a beacon of freedom, democracy & rule of law. We thank the #US for highlighting this fact in @StateDept's latest #HumanRights report. The government will keep strengthening such values in Taiwan & with other like-minded countries in the #IndoPacific & around the world. twitter.com/StateDept/stat…
I want to thank the #US Senate & House of Representatives for unanimously passing the Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act, showing bipartisan support for #Taiwan’s free, democratic way of life through concrete action.
Curious why postal trucks in #Taiwan have started flying red flags? It turns out, they’re on a very important mission:
Thanks @NBCNews for reporting on how the government's active, holistic approach to tackling #COVID19 is paying off. #Taiwan's open leadership & universal health coverage encourage public buy-in. The country is willing & able to share this expertise. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
A smart letter to @Nature on #Taiwan's exclusion from @WHO being "an inexcusable liability for global health" & a danger to millions of people. @chasewnelson makes it clear the world has everything to gain & nothing to lose by acknowledging #TaiwanCanHelp. nature.com/articles/d4158…

This @Telegraph article highlights the government's gold-standard response as key to limiting the spread of disease. #TaiwanCanHelp by sharing its experiences with other countries. Read @niccijsmith's firsthand take on how #Taiwan is combating #COVID19. telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/0…
Happy to report that tests for #COVID19 on a sample sent to #Taiwan from the first suspected case in #Palau have returned negative. #TaiwanCanHelp safeguard human health, & we are more than willing to work with our allies & partners around the world.
On International #WomensDay, I want to salute all of the brave women working on the front lines in the fight against #COVID19 in #Taiwan. From researchers to military personnel, doctors to machine tool manufacturers & so many more, these women are truly inspiring.
As I celebrate the arrival of my 800,000th follower, I want to ask: What do you love about #Taiwan? What would you like to see more of? I love my country, & I want to share more of its beauty with you all.
I visited a pharmacy in #Taipei to learn how they’re working to prevent the spread of #COVID19 & ensure people have access to a steady supply of face masks. Truly touched by their dedication to keeping #Taiwan safe & healthy.
Taiwan's government collaborated with local manufacturers to build 60 surgical mask production lines in 25 days. Watch @iingwen visit a newly built facility & see how the hard work paid dividends. #Taiwan is an #IslandOfResilience. twitter.com/iingwen/status…
