TAIPEI - From Tuesday , people in Taiwan who live with those who have tested positive for Covid-19 are allowed to skip self-isolation if they have already received the booster vaccine shot.

Under the new"0+7 plan", they will assume a week of"self-initiated epidemic prevention" during which they can leave the house if they test negative in a rapid antigen test taken within the past two days.

More than 80.8 per cent of Taiwan's population have had two vaccine doses, while 63 per cent have received their booster shots. The new rule is part of ongoing changes Taiwan is implementing to coexist with the virus, even as the health authorities continue to deal with the island's most severe outbreak yet.due to the Omicron variant, with 65,794 cases and 38 deaths reported on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the Taiwan navy reported a Covid-19 outbreak on a second warship, after announcing on Monday that crew members of a frigate had tested positive. The Covid-19 surge also made it necessary for Taiwan to begin opening drive-through testing sites, with three currently in service in Taipei City and a fourth set to open soon.
