[Global Times reporter Tao Xinran] Group infections in Taoyuan Hospital in Taiwan are on the increase. The number of people in isolation has reached 5,000, the highest since the outbreak.

　　Taiwan’s "China Times" said on the 25th that the epidemic in Taoyuan Hospital has further expanded, with two new confirmed cases on the 24th. One of them was discharged on the 11th and the other was a family member living with him.

Taiwan’s "Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center" commander Chen Shizhong first stated that the ward on the 12th floor where the case was located was upgraded to a red zone, and all discharged patients will be placed in home isolation from now on.

Unexpectedly, the command center will undergo a 180-degree change at night, and all personnel who entered Taoyuan Hospital from January 6 to 19 will be treated as red zone management, including those discharged from the entire medical building, accompanying patients and their family members. A policy transition has expanded the number of affected people from the original 1,300 to 5,000," marking the largest quarantine crowd on the island since the outbreak.

Chen Shizhong said frankly that the accompany and visitors among the 5,000 people may not be able to grasp all of them. At present, they have coordinated the police and civil affairs to assist in contact.

　　It is reported that a total of 15 people have been diagnosed in the recent cluster epidemic in Taoyuan Hospital, and the source of infection of two confirmed cases has not been fully clarified.

Zhang Zangneng, director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Shin Kong Hospital and attending physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases, said that patients have health insurance card records, but it is difficult to track visits, accompanying patients or delivery staff, if they have not honestly informed the hospital of their past footprints , Is likely to become a potential loophole, the next few days will be the key.

Senior media person Huang Weihan said that if there are "confirmed people who cannot track down the source of infection" in the community, it means that the epidemic has advanced to a more serious stage.

　　At the same time, the anti-epidemic performance of the DPP authorities has also been criticized.

Taiwan's Zhongshi Electronic News reported on the 25th that Chen Shizhong said at a press conference on the 13th that due to the active handling by the hospital, Taoyuan Hospital had no concerns about nosocomial infection and no need to close the hospital; on the 17th, he admitted that the infected nurses were alert. Not enough; on the 24th, 5,000 people were declared in isolation.

Taipei City Councillor You Shuhui questioned on the 25th that Chen Shizhong only wanted to make major issues smaller, while the DPP used the hat of "medicine and nurses to be very hard, please don't hit" to shift the focus and spend time. In covering up responsibilities and blaming others, the prime time to completely prevent the epidemic is lost.

　　Taiwan’s United News Network said on the 25th that Taiwan’s first high-intensity and large number of home quarantine patients were caused by the latest two confirmed patients from Taoyuan Hospital who were only diagnosed nine days after they were discharged. The “Command Center” recently announced the footprint survey, and it said that the confirmed person spent 3 hours drinking soy milk at the soymilk store. “How can it take 3 hours to drink soy milk?” It is equivalent to admitting that the previous opaque footprint survey has more problems. Some commentators believe that Taiwan is in the "external and internal troubles" of epidemic prevention. When the world began to administer the vaccine, Taiwan could not buy it. Even if there is a chance to start mass vaccination in mid-2021, it will have to wait 6 Therefore, Taiwan will have to be isolated from the world for at least one more year or even longer, and its economic development is bound to suffer a considerable impact.
