Taipei, Nov. 10 (CNA) Taiwan on Wednesday reported five new cases of COVID-19, all contracted overseas, and no new deaths from the disease, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).
The five cases were foreign nationals who traveled to Taiwan from Singapore and Indonesia earlier this week and tested positive upon arrival, the CECC said.
To date, Taiwan has confirmed a total of 16,456 COVID-19 cases, of which 14,426 are domestic infections reported since May 15, when the country first recorded more than 100 cases in a single day.
During the first nine days of November, Taiwan reported one domestic case --on Nov. 4 -- and 43 imported cases.
There have only been 123 domestic cases since Aug. 15, however, as daily case numbers have fallen to mostly single digits since then, according to CECC data.
With no new deaths reported Wednesday, the number of confirmed COVID-19 fatalities in the country remains at 848, with all but 12 recorded since May 15, CECC data showed.
