Taipei, Your MICE Partner, Cares!

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has become a global pandemic. The Taipei City Government, closely adhering to the Taiwan central government's effective curbing policy, reports that the city currently has 40 confirmed cases, of which 37 are imported and only 3 are indigenous. There have been no cases of any community infections.

Taipei City would like to share its COVID-19 prevention measures with the global MICE community:

Public meetings
1. Boost the promotion of hand hygiene (such as washing hands thoroughly and frequently).
2. Encourage preventive etiquette by people with respiratory tract problems or coughs (such as wearing masks and staying home).
3. Organizers of indoor gatherings and activities should keep the air-circulation system and environment clean and tidy.
4. Instruct those who are ill to rest at home and not participate in assembly activities.
Cooperate with government epidemic investigations and implement epidemic prevention measures in accordance with the provisions of home quarantine, home isolation, and independent health management.
Keep areas clean: Public environments should be disinfected at least once a day.

Taipei City hopes the COVID-19 storm, which is severely affecting the global MICE industry as well as the rest of the world, will end soon. When that time comes, Taipei is more than ready to join with global MICE partners in the industry's restoration.
