TAIPEI: All foreign workers at a plant of major Taiwanese chip packager King Yuan Electronics in Taiwan’s northern city of Miaoli will be quarantined as health workers try to stop an outbreak of Covid-19 there, the government said today.

Case numbers in Taiwan’s main chip hub of Hsinchu have remained low, though the government, working with the military, has set up rapid testing sites there to ensure they can identify any rapid increase.
