Taiwan reported 28,210 new local cases of COVID-19 on Monday. That’s 10% more than the same day last week.
If you take into account the population of each area of Taiwan, the Matsu Islands are a hotspot for the virus. Hsinchu 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 only about half had taken three doses of a COVID vaccine.
Authorities say another 99 people are suffering from moderate or severe symptoms of the disease.
Taiwan also recorded 239 imported cases of COVID-19 on Monday.
