Two senior Taiwanese politicians have gone into home quarantine after a number of government drivers tested positive for COVID-19. So far, Vice Premier Shen Jong-chin and Cabinet Deputy Secretary-General Ho Pei-shan have no symptoms and have tested negative on PCR tests.
Shen and Ho went into quarantine after health authorities identified them as contacts of a government driver with COVID-19.
The government says Premier Su Tseng-chang had no contact with the drivers with COVID, but Su opted to take a PCR test anyway and tested negative.
Likewise, Vice President Lai Ching-te has taken a precautionary rapid test and tested negative for the disease.
A government COVID-19 response team is investigating the cluster.
