Taiwan reported 28,806 new local cases of COVID-19 on Friday.
If you take into account the population of each area of Taiwan, the Matsu Islands are dealing with the most cases per capita. Only 25 people have new cases of COVID there, but the population of the islands is just over 12,000. Taoyuan City is also dealing with a high number of infections, as is New Taipei City.
Another 53 people have died from COVID-19. Most were over the age of 80, and less than half had taken three doses of a COVID vaccine.
Authorities say another 177 people are suffering from moderate or severe symptoms of the disease.
Taiwan also recorded 41 imported cases of COVID-19 on Friday
