Though the President of the Republic of China, Tsai Ing-wen, had previously received three doses of the Medigen COVID-19 vaccine, she began to feel slightly unwell after concluding her morning duties. ROC Presidential Office Spokesperson Lin Yu-chan announced today (25th) that President Tsai tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing rapid testing. Currently, the president’s symptoms are mild and she is being properly cared for by the medical team. Following expert medical advice, the president has canceled her public engagements for the afternoon.
Spokesperson Lin Yu-chan added that President Tsai expressed her gratitude for everyone’s concern. She believes that the pandemic situation in Taiwan is stabilizing and that the pandemic prevention guidelines are professionally planned. She is reassured by this and will rest as advised by the medical team, yet she will still stay informed about state affairs through her governing team.
Moreover, President Tsai emphasized the imminent typhoon, potentially the most impactful in recent years for Taiwan. She has requested that Premier Chen Chien-jen and the administrative team cooperate closely with local governments to implement all typhoon prevention measures, ensuring the safety of the people and the smooth operation of public facilities. She also reminded the public to not let their guard down and to be well-prepared for the typhoon.
