The Taiwan Epidemic Command Center (CECC) declared an Indonesian Migrant Worker (PMI) positive for Covid-19, Wednesday (26/2/2020). The 30-year-old PMI is registered as the 32nd case of the Corona Virus in Taiwan.
According to the CECC, the illegal PMI worked for a family whose main job was to care for the 80-year-old elderly. On Sunday, February 23, 2020, he was diagnosed with Covid-19. Previously, on February 11 to 16, he had treated the sick elderly at the hospital.
When tested positive for Covid-19, this PMI had run away until he was finally found again on Monday (24/2). Subsequently, the health team conducted a series of retests and he was isolated in a hospital in northern Taiwan. The PMI had complained because his throat was uncomfortable before being declared infected with the Corona virus.
Meanwhile, Faisal Soh, one of the migrant worker activists in Taiwan, said through his personal blog that he was looking for anyone who had met the PMI, to minimize transmission.
“Those who saw yesterday, Ms. I said it was suspected of Corona, today the test results have been proven positive. I’m looking for people who have met him since the 10th and above,” said Faisal on his personal blog, Wednesday (26/2/2020)
In Taiwan itself to date has one case of death related to Covid-19. As of February 26, there were 80,967 cases of Covid-19 worldwide, with the death toll reaching 2,763 people.
