Do Not Bring Pork Products to Taiwan; Discard Mistakenly Carried Items to Avoid Heavy Fines
After years of effort by various government agencies, Taiwan was officially included in the World Organisation for Animal Health's (WOAH) list of countries free from African Swine Fever (ASF) in 2024. However, the global ASF situation remains severe, with 74 countries and regions still designated as affected areas. As the Lunar New Year approaches, the Immigration Agency reminds travelers visiting Taiwan for tourism or family reunions not to bring meat products into the country. Passengers are also warned not to take in-flight meals off the plane. If meat products are mistakenly brought into Taiwan, they must be discarded in designated disposal bins before customs inspection. Violators face fines of up to NT$1 million. Travelers are urged to be cautious to avoid unintentionally breaking the law and incurring substantial penalties.
Join the Fight Against Fraud: Team Taiwan Baseball Star Becomes an Anti-Fraud Guardian
In response to the growing prevalence of fraud crimes, the National Police Agency has launched a public campaign to raise fraud prevention awareness. Team Taiwan baseball team captain Chen Chieh-Hsien was invited to star in a promotional video emphasizing the theme "Strike Out Fraud, Mobilize the Nation." The campaign highlights the importance of teamwork and public-private collaboration in combating fraud. In the video, Chen Chieh-Hsien calls on the public to take action, encouraging everyone to report fraudulent activities, strike out fraud rings, and aim for a collective victory against scams. He advises the public to remain vigilant against suspicious messages and calls, urging them to immediately contact the anti-fraud hotline at 165 to foster a secure and fraud-aware environment. Chen also shares a straightforward message to help individuals identify scams and avoid victimization. Through this initiative, the National Police Agency hopes to enhance the public's ability to recognize and combat fraud effectively, creating a safer society for everyone.
Beware of Sudden Death Risks Amid Plunging Temperatures: Atypical High-Risk Groups to Watch
This year’s sudden temperature drops have caught many off guard. Such drastic changes not only intensify the cold but are also closely linked to cases of sudden death. While elderly individuals, people with hypertension, diabetes, or obesity are well-known at-risk groups, seemingly healthy individuals may also fall into the category of “atypical high-risk groups” for sudden death. These include those who overeat or binge drink, lead sedentary lifestyles, take baths after meals or alcohol consumption, experience high stress or insomnia, or have lingering colds. To reduce the risk of sudden death, adopting a healthy lifestyle is crucial. Regular exercise, balanced eating, stress management, and handling cold symptoms are all recommended. Health management during winter is critical—do not take it lightly.
