Taipei, Feb. 21 (CNA) Taiwan on Monday confirmed 49 new COVID-19 cases -- four domestically transmitted infections and 45 that originated abroad -- and no new deaths from the disease, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).
The new domestic cases are all linked to previously reported clusters in which the first reported cases were a Taoyuan Airport security guard, an interior designer in New Taipei, and a family in Kaohsiung.
In three of the new domestic cases, the patients had received two or three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, while the fourth, a boy under 10 years old, had not been vaccinated, the CECC said.
In addition to the domestic cases, Taiwan also reported 45 imported cases on Monday, 24 of whom tested positive upon arrival in Taiwan. The CECC did not release any information regarding the vaccination status of the imported cases.
