The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported a 30% increase in COVID-19 cases last week, with 817 new cases and 40 deaths, warning of a potential plateau period starting in mid-July. Among the severe cases are two young children, one boy in southern Taiwan with no underlying conditions or vaccination history who has been in the ICU for a week with complications including potential encephalitis. The CDC urges prompt vaccination and rapid testing for anyone with symptoms, as the country's vaccination rate stands at 11.47%, emphasizing the importance of vaccination to reduce severe outcomes.
