Taiwan reported 22,286 new local cases of COVID-19 on Thursday.
If you take into account the population of each area of Taiwan, Hsinchu City is a hotspot for the virus. More than 500 people have new cases of COVID there, out of a population of just under 500,000. Tainan is also dealing with a high number of infections, as is Kaohsiung.
Another 66 people have died from COVID-19. Most were over the age of 80, and only a third had taken three doses of a COVID vaccine.
Authorities say another 270 people are suffering from moderate or severe symptoms of the disease.
Taiwan also recorded 45 imported cases of COVID-19 on Thursday.
