Taipei, Nov. 7 (CNA) Taiwan on Sunday reported four new cases of COVID-19, all contracted overseas, and zero deaths from the disease, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

The four imported cases involved foreign nationals who traveled to Taiwan recently from Saint Kitts and Nevis, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Malaysia, the CECC said.

Three tested positive upon arriving in Taiwan and the fourth tested positive during the 14-day quarantine period required of all arrivals, the CECC said.
