Taiwan has reported an additional case of COVID-19. This brings the total number of cases confirmed in Taiwan since the outbreak began to 48.

The Central Epidemic Command Center said Wednesday that the patient is a 30-year-old woman who recently returned from a trip to the UK. After returning to Taiwan on Sunday, she complained of dizziness and headache, later developing a cough and a fever. She tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.

The command center says it is tracking passengers on the same flight, along with nine family members she has had contact with since her return.
