Taiwan reported 23,302 new local cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday.
If you take into account the population of each area of Taiwan, the Penghu Islands are a hotspot for the virus. More than 150 people have new cases of COVID there in a population of just over 100,000. Miaoli County is also dealing with a high number of infections, as is Hualien County.
Another 31 people have died from COVID-19. Most were over the age of 80, and less than half had taken three doses of a COVID vaccine. Almost all of them had pre-existing medical conditions.
Authorities say another 84 people are suffering from moderate or severe symptoms of the disease.
Taiwan also recorded 254 imported cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday.
