TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on Friday (April 24) announced there was one new case of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing the total from the "Goodwill Fleet" to 30 and 428 overall.

During his daily press conference on Friday afternoon, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) announced one new case from Taiwan's ill-fated "Goodwill Fleet" (敦睦, Dunmu) for the third day in a row. The latest confirmed case, No. 428, is a male in his 30s who served as a sailor on the navy supply ship the Panshih (磐石).

On April 18, he was placed in a quarantine center, where he underwent a test for the virus that came back negative. However, on April 19, he began to experience tell-tale symptoms, including a loss of his sense of smell, a runny nose, and nasal congestion.

He underwent a second test on Wednesday (April 23) and was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Friday. Chen said that out of the 30 sailors in the "Goodwill Fleet" cluster, 1,843 contacts have been traced by the health department.

Of those persons, 530 are undergoing home isolation, while 1,313 have implemented self-health management. Thus far, 125 have undergone testing for the disease, and 91 have tested negative.

Out of Taiwan's 428 cases reported since the coronavirus outbreak began, 343 were imported, 55 were local, and 30 came from the "Goodwill Fleet." Thus far, six have succumbed to the disease, while 264 have been released from hospital isolation.

The center will continue to trace the infected sailors' public movements after disembarking from their ships, and it will publish them on the internet. Chen reminded the public that if they had been to the same places at the same time as the confirmed cases, they should undergo self-health management for the next 14 days and wear a mask when going out.

Those who feel unwell are advised to call the toll-free disease prevention hotline at 1922. The center also recommends that when seeking medical attention, patients should proactively inform doctors of their travel history and all persons they have recently come into contact with.
