Furthermore, there were outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infection or influenza-like illness, with symptoms similar to those of Covid-19, in a total of 14 schools. They will be subject to tests. (The list of schools can be found here: link 1, link 2.)
As typhoon signal No.8 is in effect, all community testing centers and mobile specimen collection stations are temporarily closed.
In view of the anticipated inclement weather, the deadline for undergoing the above compulsory testing will be October 15, which allows for one more day than the usual practice.
If strong wind No.3 or above, the Red or Black Rainstorm Warning Signal, or the post-super typhoon 'extreme conditions' announcement by the Government is in force at any time during the period for undergoing the compulsory testing, the period will be further extended for one day.
