Health officials are preparing a new quarantine measure that will require foreign visitors to undergo different levels of quarantine. 

Centers for Disease Control（CDC) Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang said on Monday that Taiwan is looking to set varying levels of quarantine requirements for foreign visitors, depending on which country they arrive from. Visitors from countries like New Zealand and Palau, which have very few COVID-19 cases, will only be required to monitor their health after arriving in Taiwan. 

Visitors from low-risk countries, such as Vietnam and Brunei, would only have to undergo a 5-day quarantine. Countries like Japan, Australia and Thailand would represent the next level of severity, and visitors from those countries will have to undergo longer quarantine periods.
