There were 120 new cases imported from abroad.
According to media reports such as China Times News and Lianhe Daily, 52 of the new local cases that day belonged to a cluster of foreign workers in a power plant in Taoyuan.

The remaining confirmed cases are distributed in Kaohsiung, New Taipei, Taitung and other places.
