Health officials are scrambling to work out how a female employee at Academia Sinica, Taiwan's top research institute, contracted the virus last month.
Health officials have confirmed that the positive-testing lab worker had been bitten twice by mice that had been infected with the coronavirus. "Whether it is from the workplace or community, we believe the possibility of infection from the workplace is higher because we have zero confirmed infections in the community," health minister Chen Shih-chung told reporters.
The lab worker had no recent travel history and has been double vaccinated with Moderna. The Academia Sinica lab has the second highest bio-safety security level.
