2021-07-23

Taiwan will lower the nationwide Level 3 COVID-19 alert to Level 2 on July 27 and further ease government restrictions, including the reopening of more businesses and venues that have been ordered to close since mid-May. According to the new CECC guidelines, which will remain in place until at least August 9, gatherings will be allowed to as many as 50 people indoors and 100 outdoors, and restaurants will be allowed to offer dine-in services. However, people should still wear face masks at all times when not at home except when they are eating. It is not clear if border controls will be loosened simultaneously. (Picture by Taiwan News)
