Of the five new cases, two are foreign students who arrived in Taiwan for study — one from Indonesia and one from Russia. That brings the total number of imported cases among foreign students to six.
The remaining three cases include a Taiwanese man in his 20s who had been working in France, a Taiwanese man in his 40s who had been working in the Philippines, and a Filipino man who had arrived in Taiwan for work.
