Epidemic prevention measures for migrant workers after entering Taiwan:

Migrant workers must take a PCR test, and then proceed to undergo a 14-day collective quarantine and 7-day self-management of health after entering Taiwan.

Before the end of the 14-day quarantine, individuals need to have another PCR test again, and follow the 7-day self-management of health and continue to live in the collective quarantine venues. While having the self-management of health, one must go through a rapid test and follow the entry and exit regulations of the collective quarantine venues.

In addition, migrant workers are theoretically not allowed to go out during the period of self-management of health. They can only go out for medical treatment or emergency situations. Contact tracing QR code scanning is adopted, and a specialized person must be responsible for picking up and accompanying them throughout the process.
