The government is promoting awareness of stricter social distancing guidelines amidst concerns over the growing COVID-19 pandemic.

Taiwan has new social distancing guidelines. Central Epidemic Command Center official Chi-Kung Ho explains the details of the new rules that are aimed to prevent a major outbreak.

Find new ways other than a handshake to say “Hello”. There are a few principles to remember. First, keep a 1.5-meter distance from others indoors, and 1-meter distance outdoors. But if you wear a mask, you can sit closer.

Second, wear a mask in enclosed and crowded spaces.  Don’t talk if you’re in an elevator or sharing a meal. If you want to talk after a meal, put on your mask.

Third, after the long holiday weekend, monitor your health. If you have any symptoms, put on a mask. Get medical treatment and inform doctors of your travel history.

Social distancing is how we can protect ourselves and others.
