Reporters jostling to report on late-breaking news is a familiar sight in Taiwan. But in the time of coronavirus, this could be a thing of the past.
Taiwan's government is recommending that people maintain a 1.5 meter distance indoors and one meter outside. That means press conferences can no longer be held the way they were in the past: in tight quarters.
The new social distancing rules were visible at a Council of Agriculture press conference on Monday. The event was held in an open space, and the reporters' chairs were spread out to keep them at a safe distance from one another.
