The question will of course be, whether the +7 has to be spent under the same conditions as the current +4 is - in that separate bedroom/bathroom need to be available if not the only occupant?
Time will tell I guess.
Sounds great but they should clarify what exactly you are allowed to do during 0+7.
I finished my quarantine and currently on self-health check management and still canāt go to school until it is finished.
But you are allowed to go outside to get food, and visit tourist places? If the answer is yes, then thatās really weird as in you canāt go to school, but in the meantime, feel free to do whatever you want.
Yes, I go out to do my shopping, meet friends but my school told me that I am not allowed to go back now. I have to wait until my 4 days of self-health management is finished. I proved that they are wrong, but they didnāt change their mind that is why I think clear rules are needed to avoid misunderstandings.
I did show them that piece of information, it didnāt help 
Your work may have their own rules.
Looks like it but I think they should comply with the rules introduced by the government.
Welcome to Taiwan!
Maintaining social distancing in a supermarket can be challenging especially during busy hours.
I would assume one can look at going during a less busy time? Like at night?
Sure I am just saying the way the rules are written, they give the impression that itās always ok to visit a supermarket anytime.
Iāve found the whole āself-managementā period extremely frustrating from the get go. It seems the rules were intentionally worded ambiguously in order to discourage people from going out, yet at the same time there are potentially serious financial consequences for the āwrongā interpretation.
The rules should be crystal clear: āYou are prohibited from doing A, B, and C during this period.ā Otherwise, drop it.
Sure, but I lived my life normally during Self Health Management except going to restaurants.
I grabbed stand food instead.
Or ubereatsed it to the office.
Similarly, it does not say prohibit. It says avoid. I canāt avoid the bus being full.
Agree, clear rules and explanations are needed, and they have to make sure that the rules are obeyed by both parties.
Theyāre more guidelines. They say avoid, but not prohibit.
Right, but who determines whether enough āavoidanceā was exercised? Should you wait for a bus thatās less full? Should you skip an important meeting that happens to be at a restaurant? Should you immediately exit the supermarket if enough people enter?
Guidelines that could get you fined if someoneās āavoidā doesnāt add up to your āavoidā.
Wellā¦ I would go under the word āreasonableā
This isnāt just a Taiwanese thing. Rationality is the basis of law in many democracies.
