Taiwan is bracing for the 6th wave of Omicron outbreak with the peak expected in mid-July, estimating over 1,000 severe cases hospitalized weekly and possibly over 100,000 weekly emergency room visits. Health Minister advises wearing masks in crowded places amidst the rising cases, with active strategies in place including monitoring, stockpiling supplies, and enhancing cooperation amongst medical institutions. Various antiviral drugs are being prepared to tackle the escalating situation, while officials indicate no plans for a mandatory mask policy reinstatement but recommend voluntary mask-wearing in crowded settings.
