Taiwan confirmed three new imported cases of COVID-19 Sunday, two of them from Indonesia and one from the United States, bringing the total number in the country to 558, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

The three new patients are two Indonesians and a Taiwanese man, CECC spokesman Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said at a press briefing.

One of the new patients, an Indonesian woman under the age of 20, entered Taiwan Oct. 29 to study. The woman developed a loss of her sense of smell Oct. 7 but did not seek medical attention in Indonesia.

She notified airport health officials of her symptoms on arrival in Taiwan and was tested, with the results coming back positive on Sunday, Chuang said.    [FULL  STORY]
