TAIPEI: Taiwan will further ease its restrictions related to control of the coronavirus, the government said on Sunday (Jun 7), as the island has kept the pandemic well in hand with only 6 active cases and no local transmission for 56 days.

Taiwan has never gone into total lockdown and life has continued largely as normal due to its early and effective prevention work and a first rate public health system, but has promoted social distancing and ensured broad public access to face masks.
