I feel like that's an important distinction. In Canada, our officials said in January that asymptomatic individuals were not main drivers of epidemics. And while that may have been true with something like influenza, a more accurate statement would've been we don't have evidence _yet_ that suggests asymptomatic individuals could effectively spread the virus. We proceeded to operate on that assumption by not forcing incoming travelers from infected regions to isolate, unless they contacted health officials with symptoms associated to the virus. We didn't change this stance until late March, well after the virus had infected thousands of people across the country. In contrast, Taiwan implemented mandatory 14-day self-isolations for incoming travelers from specific regions as early as late January. In Ontario, we've had cases of airport taxi drivers pass away from Covid-19. Whereas Taiwan recognized that there'd likely be a large number of people coming home with the virus, so they created special airport quarantine taxis equipped with mandatory masks for passengers and isopropyl alcohol for the driver.
