The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday reported no new cases of COVID-19 in the nation as it announced a way for people to donate their share of requisitioned masks to other countries through the National Health Insurance Administration’s (NHIA) mobile app (全民健保行動快易通).

As domestic mask production has stabilized and there are sufficient good-quality masks, the center has launched a mechanism for people to donate their masks based on the spirit of international mutual assistance, said Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the center.

He said that people can easily donate their share of masks — nine adult masks per 14 days or 10 children’s masks per 14 days — in four steps: Log in to the NHIA’s mobile app, click on My Health Bank (健康存摺), click “respond to humanitarian aid” (響應人道援助) and click “yes” (我願意).

They can choose to leave a name or remain anonymous, he said.    [FULL  STORY]
