Taipei, Aug. 9 (CNA) Despite the emergence of positive cases in an ongoing mass testing program for COVID-19 antibodies in Changhua County, no community outbreak has been seen, the Central Epidemic Command Center said Sunday.

The positive cases reflect the possibility of hidden domestic cases, but also mean that the situation can be controlled as evidenced by the lack of an outbreak of locally transmitted cases, said Health Minister Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who also heads the CECC, at a press conference in Taipei.

Taiwan has not recorded any domestic cases of COVID-19 since April 12, CECC data shows.

"However, no domestic cases does not equate to no risk. What we want is to be in control of the risks," Chen said.    [FULL  STORY]
