Taipei, April 10 (CNA) Crowd measurement measures are to be introduced at scenic and popular areas around Taiwan starting Friday, in an effort to slow down the spread of the new coronavirus COVID-19 disease, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

Night markets, traditional markets and shopping areas are required to enforce social distancing, and have only one point of entry, according to command center deputy Chen Tsung-yen (陳宗彥), at a daily CECC press conference.

In addition, all free food samples must be canceled, while vendors and customers will be required to wear masks at all times, Chen said.

"If a safe distance cannot be created between seated customers, then a partition board should be used," Chen said. "For the most popular vendors, markings should be displayed on the ground to ensure people keep a safe distance when lining up."    [FULL  STORY]
