Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan reported a total of 776 cases of COVID-19 (Dong et al., 2020) in comparison with its neighbouring countries, Japan and the Philippines which reported 210,769 and 465,724 cases of COVID-19 respectively, until 24 December 2020. Looking at the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic among various countries, Taiwan had indeed distinguished herself and stood out considering her well-contained COVID-19 infection despite it being a widespread infection in other countries.
