Health Minister Chen Shih-chung has outlined some high-risk places and situations that you should avoid in order to reduce your chance of getting COVID-19.

A lot of people are anxious about COVID-19. If you want to reduce your chances of getting the coronavirus, you should avoid air travel.  Airplanes are a danger zone. Health Minister Chen Shih-chung explains the risks. "To be honest, long flights are a high risk. There are a lot of unknown people on the plane. Being in an enclosed space for a long time is dangerous," he said.

Going to concerts may be fun, but crowded areas are another danger zone to avoid. It’s great to feast with friends, but perhaps you can find something else to do, as large gatherings are also a risk.

Taiwan’s healthcare is great, but people should avoid hospitals. Chen said, "Don’t go to the hospital unless you need to. People should also avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency room."

If you’re planning a trip to Italy, you might want to delay your plans. Check out the travel advisories and find a safer place or time to go.
