Taipei, Feb. 25 (CNA) Taiwan on Saturday reported 13,526 new cases of COVID-19, which pushed the total number of those infected by the disease since the start of the pandemic to over 10 million, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

Among the new cases reported Saturday, 13,281 were contracted domestically, which represented a 10.2-percent drop from the same day a week earlier, CECC data showed.

Meanwhile, Taiwan also reported 53 new deaths from the disease, bringing the total number of confirmed COVID-19 fatalities in the country to 17,818.
