- refurb 6y agoJapan has had an explosion of cases. Not a great example. The others are islands and they could easily restrict movement.
- angled 6y agoAny country can be a logical island if it restricts movement at its national borders. Was the US powerless at the federal level to do this, or is that a state issue? Even grouping the US by landmarks (west of the Rockies, in between the Rockies and the Mississippi, east of the Mississippi) and having open interstate movement in those zones would have been a start. The options for handling COVID was not a binary choice between absolutely libertarian and absolutely draconian policies. There was and is a middle ground!
- lenkite 6y agoInternational airport transits are still suspended. Travellers arriving in Taiwan need to provide a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result issued within three business days before boarding your flight to Taiwan, regardless of nationality or visa status. Antigen or antibody test results will not be accepted. There's been a seventh automatic 30-day visa extension for foreigners who arrived on short-term visitor visas on or before 21 March 2020 and whose stay has exceeded 180 days.
