I hadn't heard about this, but that's fairly baffling. According to Johns Hopkins [1], Taiwan has ~300 confirmed cases at a population of 23M+. I'm not sure how accurate nor reliable the numbers are, but if anywhere near true, that's a herculean effort with great results. Of course, the measures outlined in the article you linked didn't come out of thin air, but are the result of massive cooperation and work.

Taiwan's government has been pretty open, since the government in power has been trying to contrast themselves from China and HK's governments which have issues with transparency. They have an English status page https://www.cdc.gov.tw/en https://www.cdc.gov.tw/en for results. They're also reporting the origin of the imported cases. Edit: Taiwan's case count is also low enough that they're still reporting updates using confirmed case numbers to track the spread from different cases.
