Somebody posted in these threads that anything over 30CT is now negative. Might this be the cause?

Damn you are connected. With you and @Marco on this board, itās like having a direct line to our government.

I knows what I talkings about!
People still argue with me. Iām not advocating, I just know how they behave and that is in part due to the fact that I talk to them and get a feel for how they think.
@trillium should be happier that they reduced it further.
I just used my connection to the internet

I have nhi with an even number and arc with odd number , soooo i can get it anyday?
Probably
I expect it will be further shortened, and eventually cut entirely, once the entirety of Taiwan is overrun with omicron.

Wow, 7+7 instead of 10+7, what an achievement. Next will be 5+7, 3+7, 3+4 and then we might have november

I wonder if the airports are ready for the influx of visitors once quarantine is zero and restrictions are removed? I imagine airports have scaled back staff massively

Maybe they like using prime numbers.
Can anyone clarify about the āself managementā malarkey? So if my parents arrive, what does that mean? Could I take them to restaurants during that period? Would they just have to sit around my apartment or hotel room without going out? How strict is it from a practical standpoint?

I think of it as 90% free. Canāt go to restaurants. Need to avoid crowds But can go to do other things.

I didnāt see that, but if itās true it would plausibly explain why the imported cases have been so low the last couple of days. Have they really changed it?
(Itās also what I would do if I wanted to nominally reduce the number of cases. 
)
There is only so much space in that box for the numbers. If it goes over 100k, we wouldnāt be able to read the number.
Surprised they didnāt keep the old rate for imported cases and say over 30 for local is negative.

Iām pretty sure thereās a self-health management related question every week on multiple threads.
In January 2022 during the 7+7+7 āeraā, I was told by one 1922 officer that I could dine-in as long as I was doing so alone / with family who I live with. Another officer told me that it was just not allowed whatsoever. There is an āofficialā document that hasnāt been revised in over a year.
Covid Zero is not a thing anymore and Taiwan couldnāt care less about an āimportedā case that somehow only tests positive after quarantine. I believe there are no QR code scans anymore as well.
In fact I think if someone tests positive now during the self-health management period theyāre probably more likely to have caught it due to contact with a local case, and shouldnāt even be classified as an imported caseā¦

Yeah. 
Though it seems like them reducing the threshold should have caused temporary decreases/plateaus in local cases, imported cases, and the positivity rate at around the same time, which doesnāt seem to be the case.
That certainly was the case.
