China: Taiwanese national tests positive for COVID-19 after arrival
The CECC says it has contacted their counterparts in China about a Taiwanese national said to have contracted COVID-19

Chinese health authorities say that a Taiwanese citizen tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in the country. According to Chinese officials, the person traveled to Shanghai on August 15 and underwent observation at a quarantine center. During the 14-day quarantine, the person began exhibiting symptoms and was confirmed with the disease on Sunday. 

Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) Spokesperson Chuang Jen-hsiang says that Taiwanese health authorities have already reached out to their Chinese counterparts, but have yet to receive an answer. Chuang says that more information is needed before the person in question is officially deemed an exported COVID-19 case.
