9 COVID-19 Cases Today (30 Oct); 1 Community, 1 Dorm & 7 Imported

While it looks like we’re doing relatively well compared to other countries, here’s a fact you’d need to know: Taiwan has gone through 200 days without a single locally transmitted case.

So yes, despite today’s goody results, we’re still far off from Jacky Wu’s and Jay Chou’s motherland.
