"The only security we have is our ability to adapt."
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Beginning Wednesday (March 4), a special taxi service will ferry home passengers who have to undergo coronavirus quarantine after arriving at Taiwan’s main airports.
An estimated 1,000 passengers a day have to spend 14 days in self-imposed quarantine after arriving in Taiwan, though 400 of them are picked up at the airport by relatives, the Liberty Times reported Tuesday (March 3).
That leaves 600 passengers a day coming from China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Italy, and Iran who are expected to rely on the new service, which is designed to eliminate contact between potential Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and passengers on public transportation.

Taiwan to fine passengers not wearing masks on public transport
Staff will insist on donning a mask, but a maximum fine of NT$15,000 could follow: Health Minister
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Following demands from local governments to make the wearing of masks compulsory on public transport, Health and Welfare Minister Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) said passengers refusing to don a mask could be fined from NT$3,000 (US$99) to NT$15,000.
Earlier Friday (April 3), Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shan-shan (黃珊珊) insisted that passengers be refused entry to Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations and buses if they did not wear a mask. She wanted to introduce the measure on April 9, the same date each city resident will be allowed to buy nine masks once every two weeks.
During the daily Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) news conference Friday, Chen said anyone boarding any form of public transport must don a face mask to protect themselves and others against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), CNA reported.
At first, staff will persuade a maskless person to wear one, but if that fails, a fine will follow, Chen warned. There was no immediate word on when the new measure would be introduced.
