Hsinchu, July 8 (CNA) Eight international students on National Tsing Hua University's (NTHU) football team have created a video to thank Taiwan's epidemic prevention workers for their success in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the video posted on social media Wednesday, the students from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Haiti, and El Salvador praised Taiwan's public health response, saying it has kept them safe and allowed them to maintain their normal routines amid the pandemic.

"I would like to thank the workers in Taiwan keeping us safe from the virus. It's allowing us to do what we love the most, which is to play football," says a student from El Salvador, identified by his Chinese name Lung Yu-kuo (龍雨果).

"Taiwan is not on lockdown. I'm very safe in Taiwan," says Kao Chia-mo (高家莫) from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, joking that he plans to go out later to lift weights and eat xiaolongbao.    [FULL  STORY]
