📰 Hawaii to start quarantine exemption for Taiwanese on Saturday

🀄 夏威夷將在周六開始對台灣人解除隔離檢疫

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Travelers from Taiwan who present proof of negative coronavirus tests from select hospitals will be exempt from Hawaii's mandatory 10-day quarantine starting on Saturday (April 17).

📌 台北 (台灣新聞) — 從某些醫院出示冠狀病毒檢測結果呈陰性的台灣旅客，將從周六(4月17日)開始免於夏威夷強制性的10天檢疫。

In order to keep Hawaii's number of coronavirus cases down to the relatively low number of 31,000, the state requires all visitors, whether domestic or foreign, to undergo a 10-day self-quarantine upon arrival. However, Mackay Memorial Hospital on Wednesday (April 14) announced that the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) has given the green light to an exemption for travelers from Taiwan who can present negative results of a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for COVID-19 from a hospital approved by Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare.

📌 為了將夏威夷的冠狀病毒病例數，控制在相對較低的31,000，該州要求所有訪客，無論是國內訪客還是外國訪客，均需在抵達時進行為期10天的自我檢疫。不過，麥凱紀念醫院 (Mackay Memorial Hospital) 週三 (4月14日) 宣布，夏威夷衛生部 (DOH) 批准了台灣旅客的豁免，他們可以出示台灣衛生福利部批准的醫院，對COVID-19進行核酸擴增測試(NAAT)的陰性結果。

Starting on April 17, a total of 11 medical institutions will be added to the list of "Trusted Testing Partners" that can participate in the state's pre-travel testing program. As long as a resident of Taiwan can present negative test results from one of these hospitals, they will not need to undergo Hawaii's mandatory 10-day self-quarantine when visiting the islands.

📌 從4月17日開始，總共11家醫療機構將被添加到可以參加該州旅行前測試計劃的“受信任的測試合作夥伴”列表中。只要台灣居民可以出示其中一家醫院的陰性測試結果，他們就不需要在拜訪該島時接受夏威夷強制性的為期10天的自我檢疫。

MacKay Memorial Hospital stated that those who wish to receive self-paid COVID-19 tests must first check the pre-screening precautions and regulations on the website for each branch. Those who wish to travel to Hawaii must apply for a special testing report for overseas travel.

📌 麥凱紀念醫院表示，那些希望接受自費的COVID-19測試的人，必須先在網站上查看每個分支機構的預防措施和規定。那些想去夏威夷旅行的人必須為出國旅行申請一份特殊的測試報告。

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Honolulu stated that Taiwan is just the fourth country to sign a Trusted Testing Partners memorandum with the state of Hawaii. The other three signatories are Japan, Canada, and South Korea.

📌 檀香山台北經濟文化辦公室表示，台灣只是與夏威夷州簽署“受信任的測試合作夥伴”備忘錄的第四個國家。其他三個簽署國是日本，加拿大和韓國。

There are currently no direct flights from Taiwan to Hawaii at this time. Therefore, travelers from Taiwan will have to take a connecting flight through another country or other part of the U.S. to reach Hawaii.

📌 目前尚無從台灣到夏威夷的直航。因此，來自台灣的旅客將必須搭乘轉機航班經過另一個國家或美國其他地區才能到達夏威夷。

Upon their return to Taiwan, the travelers must still undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine, followed by seven days of self-health monitoring. For more information about traveling to Hawaii, please visit Hawaii's COVID-19 travel page.

📌 返回台灣後，旅客仍必須進行強制性的14天檢疫，然後進行7天的自我健康監測。有關前往夏威夷的更多信息，請造訪夏威夷的COVID-19旅行頁面。

#WHACountdown 世界衛生大會倒數 3天！
即日起至 #WHA 召開，我們每天都會分享貼文聲援台灣參加世界衛生大會，並支持台灣擴大公衛領域等國際參與。

歐洲議會及德國國會超過百名議員聯署發表公開信，籲請歐盟會員國之衛生部長支持台灣參與今年世界衛生大會。信中寫道：「儘管台灣地緣位置與病毒發源地相近，台灣政府成功控制新冠疫情擴散。美國、加拿大、澳洲及紐西蘭已正式採取立場，讓台灣回歸到2009年至2016年的參與形式。因此，我們請求讓台灣的衛福部長陳時中受邀參加今年的世界衛生大會視訊會議。台灣作為觀察員與會，得以與世界分享其成功對抗新冠肺炎的經驗。此外，我們也請求世衛組織促成適當且可行的安排，讓台灣得以參與世衛所有的會議、機制與活動。」原信請見：https://bit.ly/3cCdmMU

It’s Day 3 of our #WHACountdown!
Each day we will share posts to support Taiwan’s participation in the upcoming #WHA and broader role in global health.
More than one hundred members of the European and national Parliaments wrote an open letter to all European Union Health Ministers about the participation of Taiwan in the 2020 World Health Assembly. The letter says: “The Taiwanese government has successfully managed to curb the spread of the virus in spite of Taiwan’s geographic proximity to the virus origin. The United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have officially taken the position to return to the 2009 – 2016 format. We therefore request that Taiwan’s Minister of Health and Welfare, Chen Shih Chung, be invited to attend this year’s virtual WHA videoconference, as an observer, to share with us Taiwan’s successful experience in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we request that the WHO facilitate appropriate and feasible arrangements for Taiwan to participate in all WHO meetings, mechanisms and activities."

The threat of emerging infectious diseases to global health and the economy, trade, and tourism has never abated. Pandemics can spread rapidly around the world because of the ease of international transportation. Among the most salient examples are the Spanish flu of 1918, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003, and the H1N1 influenza of 2009. Intermittently, serious regional epidemics, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, Ebola in West Africa in 2014, and the Zika virus in Central and South America in 2016, have also reared their heads.

Today, a novel form of pneumonia that first emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and has since been classified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic. As of April 20, 2020, World Health Organization data showed that 2.24 million people had been confirmed as having the disease, with 152,551 deaths in 211 countries/areas/territories.

As of April 20, Taiwan had tested a total of 55,476 persons showing 422 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 55 were indigenous, 343 imported, and 24 are Navy members currently serving in the fleet. Taiwan has reported just six deaths; 203 people have been released from the hospital after testing negative. Despite its proximity to China, Taiwan ranked 123rd among 183 countries in terms of confirmed cases per million people.

A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere. Global health security requires the efforts of every person to ensure an optimal response to public health threats and challenges. Taiwan, though not a member of WHO, cannot stand alone and must be included in the fight against such threats and challenges.
