On June 13, 2024, as reported by Setn.com, there was a significant increase in COVID-19 cases in Taiwan with 328 new confirmed cases last week and a high rapid test positivity rate of 70%. Intensive care doctor Su Yifeng pointed out that the resurgence of COVID-19 is primarily linked to the 'mask mandate cancellation'. He advised three populations to wear masks properly to prevent infection. Following the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the rapid test positivity rate reached 70%, signaling a resurgence. Health professionals warn of the Omicron variant causing the 6th wave of local outbreaks as many are testing positive for the first time. Su emphasized the importance of wearing masks, especially for vulnerable groups, due to the difficulty in distinguishing COVID-19 symptoms from common cold symptoms.
