Defense Minister Yen Teh-fa says Taiwan’s military has not been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
Yen told lawmakers on Tuesday that all soldiers and military officials who have traveled to areas affected by the outbreak have quarantined themselves upon returning to Taiwan. He said that right now 400 members of the military are in quarantine, down from a maximum of 2,000.
Yan says the military has measures in place to make sure the virus does not spread and affect the military’s key functions.
