Coronavirus - Taiwan 2021

What are you talking about? It is absolutely safe!

No new local cases. Two imported Indonesian fishers.

Expecting announcement on controls of crowds over CNY.

Winter break is extended for schools. Classes delayed to Feb. 22.

All schools or just Taoyuan?

All public schools.

Is there a link for this.

Kindergartens too :grimacing:

Thank you both. So it’s just starting 4 days later.

Reminder: CDC Website is a reference for general information.

Can also register for Line alerts.

It makes sense as if there were any clusters during CNY it would give time to detect them or to further delay school term.

Ah yeah. I guess that does make sense.

You cut him short. He said, it’s possible to believe both that the government is doing a “bang-up job” and that Taiwan has been lucky. Seems pretty uncontroversial.

I know you consider yourself the contrarian who disagrees with everything that everybody says about covid and the gov’t but when you need to deliberately cut quotes in half to misrepresent what was said, you’re overreaching.

It also lets people who need to be in the schools disinfecting, enacting any new covid protocols, etc, enjoy their full vacation and not return to the building three or four days before kids.

I’m not for closing schools but this appears to be an easy call.

Did it last year as well

Though that was at the last moment - letting us have a few weeks to prepare is appreciated here.

Let’s prepare and get some ass whipe paper before the horde storms in.

Only public kindergartens.

Some universities seem to have made an extension to the holiday, too. Until Feb 22nd. Mine is scheduled to start then, anyway, so no long holiday for moi. It doesn’t bother me, though. Holidays are overrated.

Yeah, same - we were scheduled to start on the 22nd anyway, so I assume no change.

I actually liked the slightly rebalanced holidays last year, with a couple weeks longer in winter and a couple weeks shorter in summer.
