Taipei, Feb. 27 (CNA) An Indonesian caregiver working in Taiwan illegally, who was confirmed as the country's 32nd COVID-19 coronavirus case Wednesday, frequently used public transport in the greater Taipei area and passed through Taipei Main Station several times from Feb. 16-24, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said Thursday.

The woman, in her 30s, temporarily provided care to a northern Taiwan man in his 80s — the country's 27th confirmed COVID-19 case — in the hospital from Feb. 11-16, according to the CECC.

The woman was confirmed as the sixth case associated with a family cluster of the virus also responsible for cases 27-31.
