HEALTH REQUIREMENTS :Subject to change :

• You will be required to present a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result in English taken within 48 hours before departure. The test will be calculated based on the “specimen collection date” not the test report date.
• Mandatory Health Form: complete a health declaration form online within 48 hours before arrival.

As of July 7, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that it will increase the total number of arrivals allowed entry every week to 40,000 beginning today and that, effective from 00:00 on July 14 (incoming flight’s scheduled arrival time in Taiwan), R.O.C. nationals, Alien Resident Certificate holders, and transit passengers will be exempt from providing a result of a PCR test taken within two days of flight schedule time. However, those who test positive for COVID-19 abroad must wait over seven days from the specimen collection date to take a flight to Taiwan in order to maintain safety on the flight and epidemic prevention efforts in the community.

• COVID-19 saliva test upon arrival before being allowed to proceed to their pre-booked residence address or government-based facility. If the test is positive, traveler undergoing quarantine at their residential property will be notified and permitted to undergo home care at the same location during their quarantine period. If the test is positive, traveler undergoing quarantine at a designated hotel will be notified and transferred to an enhanced epidemic prevention hotel, designated quarantine center or hospital for further treatment.
• Everyone is required to quarantine at a residence address or government-based facility for 3 days. The quarantine residence address is required to meet the principle of one person per room during the quarantine. If the principle of one person per room cannot be followed, travelers could complete the 3-day quarantine at a government-based facility. After the 3-day quarantine, travelers are required to monitor their health for 4 more days.

 The CECC stated that requirements with regard to the quarantine period, location, testing, home quarantine, and the self-initiated epidemic prevention period for arrivals remain unchanged, which are listed below:

1. Quarantine period and location:
   A. The day of arrival counts as Day 0; a three-day quarantine and four-day self-initiated epidemic prevention following the end of quarantine are required.
    B. Epidemic prevention rules to follow during the self-initiated epidemic prevention period:
    1. Avoid going outside unless necessary.
    2. A negative result from an at-home rapid test taken within two days should be presented if an arrival needs to go out to work or buy daily necessities.
    3. Masks must be worn at all times when outside and social distancing must be maintained.
    4. An arrival fulfilling business contractual obligations may go to work, conduct site visits, give a speech, or have a meeting, provided that a mask must be worn at all times when outside and social distancing must be maintained.
    5. Masks must be worn at all times and social distancing must be maintained at work; masks can be temporarily removed when dining and should be put on after finishing dining.
    6. Avoid going to crowded venues or contact with nonspecific persons.
    7. An arrival fulfilling business contractual obligations may dine alone or with specific persons in a separate space in a restaurant, provided that table dividers must be installed or social distancing must be maintained.
    8. Non-urgent medical services or examinations should be postponed.
    C. An arrival should observe the rule of one person per residence in his or her quarantine location or stay in a quarantine hotel; in principle, the arrival should undergo the three-day quarantine and four-day self-initiated epidemic prevention in the same location. Furthermore, in consideration of shared living arrangements for migrant workers, fishermen, and students as well as their higher risk of cluster infection, regulatory authorities of respective businesses continue to be responsible for asking such individuals to complete their self-initiated epidemic prevention period in their quarantine location and not to attend classes, work, or go out unless necessary during the period.
2. Testing measures:
   A. PCR testing: deep-throat saliva samples will be collected from arrivals for PCR testing at the airport/port of entry on the day of arrival (Day 0).
    B. At-home rapid tests: two rapid test kits will be given to arrivals aged 2 and older by workers at international airports/ports upon arrival; arrivals can use the test kits when symptoms occur during quarantine and before they go out for the first time during the self-initiated epidemic prevention period.

 III. Transportation from the place of arrival to the quarantine location: besides taking quarantine taxis, arrivals can get a ride from their friends, relatives, companies or organizations, and epidemic prevention measures for quarantine vehicles as well as other prevention protocols should be followed.
