To prevent the spread of Covid-19, the National Immigration Agency (NIA, 移民署) strengthened the promotion of the “Migrant Population Peace of Mind
Epidemic Prevention Project”. The Kaohsiung City Special Duty Team went to possible hot spots near the train station where there are many migrant workers and discovered an Indonesian restaurant with the metal roll-up door closed but with lights turned on inside. They found 5 foreigners dining as a group inside the restaurant. The special team immediately called the San Min District police department No. 1 sub-branch to come and investigate the matter.
Kaohsiung special task force leader Chao Chi-Cheng (趙志成) said that to prevent the continuous spread of Covid-19, the NIA is continuously promoting the “Migrant Population Peace of Mind Epidemic Prevention project”. During the period of this project until the Central Epidemic Command Center (國家衛生指揮中心中央流行疫情指揮中心) lifts the Covid-19 level 3 alert, legal or illegal and overstaying migrants with suspected possible covid-19 symptoms, may go for covid testing and medical treatment. Illegal migrants who take the covid test and seek medical treatment will not be reported to the authorities. Chao Chi-cheng calls migrants to observe the covid-19 level 3 alert protocols. If there are suspected symptoms, infected cases or if they have related questions, they may call the epidemic hotline 1922, or Kaohsiung citizens hotline 1999. They may also call the National Immigration Department Southern Administration Corps Kaohsiung special task force to inquire.
