The domestic COVID-19 situation in Taiwan is escalating, with 932 new confirmed cases last week, up by 117 cases from the previous week. The authorities anticipate a surge in mid-July and urge those who have not received the XBB.1.5 vaccine to get vaccinated promptly to reduce the risk of severe illness or death. Studies indicate that the old version vaccines do not offer sufficient protection against the current outbreak, emphasizing the effectiveness of the XBB.1.5 vaccine for both young adults and seniors. The vaccines' expiry dates have been extended, reassuring the public of their safety and effectiveness. In addition to the COVID-19 surge, the flu cases are also rising, with over 10,000 visits for flu-like symptoms to emergency departments. The public is urged to remain vigilant and seek medical attention promptly if experiencing severe symptoms.
