In March 2020, Taiwan and the U.S. issued a joint statement of “Taiwan and U.S. Covid Prevention Partnership” to work together to continuously fight the pandemic. After Covid-19 cases in Taiwan increased in May 2021, many U.S. government officials and cross-party members of Congress also publicly expressed support for Taiwan's acquisition of vaccines. Taiwan was deeply touched by the friendship and immediate assistance of the U.S. government. The Taiwan government will also continue to promote cooperation between the two countries in the fight against Covid-19 and continue to protect the health and well-being of the people of Taiwan.
