The 35 confirmed infections effectively ground China Airlines for 14 days. FMTNews Taiwan ChinaAirlines Aviation

Taiwan is worried about the risk of community transmission from the outbreak, though no cases have been linked yet.

While Taiwan has generally kept the pandemic well under control due to early prevention with only sporadic domestic cases, since last month it has been dealing with an outbreak linked to China Airlines pilots and an airport hotel where many of them stayed.

The move effectively amounted to a 14 day grounding for the airline, Chen added, and the pilots will only be allowed out of quarantine once they have tested negative.
