    The situation of COVID-19 is still tough. In view of the fact that Taichung City, Changhua, Nantou and Miaoli County are a common living circle, in order to fight against COVID-19 and strengthen the mechanism of horizontal epidemic prevention cooperation among the 4 counties and cities, County magistrate Lin Ming-zhen, Mayor of Taichung City Lu Hsiu-yen, Deputy mayor of Changhua County Hung Rung-chang, and Mayor of Miaoli County Hsu Yao-chang had a meeting on the 23rd to discuss matters related to epidemic prevention cooperation, and for the first time jointly signed the “Declaration on Epidemic Prevention Cooperation in the Central Common Life Circle” in a conference call, and proposed 10 solutions of “4 counties and cities in Central Taiwan for regional cooperation on epidemic prevention program,” in hope of establishing a denser and better protection network through cross-county and city cooperation, to strengthen regional horizontal cooperation, and bring relief to the public!

    County magistrate Lin said that the cooperation of the four counties and cities is a very important epidemic prevention mechanism for epidemic prevention and control in the central region, and it can also achieve the maximum epidemic prevention effect. Lin appreciates Mayor Lu for launching this action to protect the health and safety of the people in the central life circle. County magistrate Lin also pointed out that since the outbreak has occurred, the county has cooperated with the epidemic prevention decree of the Central Epidemic Command Center to deploy anti-epidemic actions within the jurisdiction with proactive attitude, such as promoting correct epidemic prevention methods like wearing masks, measuring body temperature, disinfecting, washing hands, and maintaining social distance on public transport, in tourism and recreation areas, travel and lodging, and catering, schools, traditional markets, large-scale stores and mass merchandise stores, to evoke popular consensus on epidemic prevention, avoid gathering, and strengthen self-protection, so as to prevent an outbreak in this county; and based on the assumption of the community transmission, a drill was conducted at the Puli Township Office, exercising the lockdown situation on April 15th, in the hope that all personnel of township offices can respond to it correctly and prevent the epidemic spreading. At present, there are only two confirmed cases originating from mainland China in this county, and the patients have been discharged. No other new cases have occurred. This is the result of the joint epidemic prevention of all the county residents. In the future, Lin hopes that the public will stay vigilant and work together, making sure the prevention work is fully implemented in every corner. If we can comply with all epidemic prevention regulations, then all citizens can be safe and healthy.
