    Penghu County Magistrate Feng-Wei Lai headed to Penghu Airport to see the operating conditions of the rapid test station on the 28th.; there were in total 3 incoming flights with 122 people on the morning of the 28th, amongst these, 37 people collaborated with the rapid test, giving a test rate of around 30%, and all rapid test results were negative. Feng-Wei Lai indicated that although the central government stipulated that rapid tests cannot be forced, but every incoming person must be responsible for the health of Penghu citizens, it takes only 20 minutes for a rapid test to ensure the safety of Penghu, so why not do it?

    Feng-Wei Lai indicated that setting up a rapid test station at the airport is to enhance the epidemic prevention for arrivals in Penghu; the public is urged to collaborate with the airport rapid test station for a voluntary test, to provide one more layer of protection for the life and health of Penghu citizens.

    The Public Health Bureau indicated that after travelers arrive in Penghu, those who agree to take the rapid test will be guided to the waiting zone by staff personnel to fill out the rapid test agreement form and the arrival health declaration form before going to the rapid test station for the test. Those unwilling to take a rapid test will still need to fill out the “Health Declaration Form”.

    The Public Health Bureau indicated that starting from the 28th, all travelers coming to Penghu will have to fill out the “Health Declaration Form;” after the travelers arrive in Penghu, they will be tracked via telephone calls, requesting them to actually obey the epidemic prevention rules within the first 14 days of arrival in Penghu, to carry out self-health monitoring properly and to inform The Public Health Bureau or 1922 at any time in case of any situations.

    The Penghu County Government stressed to the public to cease traveling between Taiwan and Penghu before June 14th. If one must travel to Penghu, please cooperate with the airport rapid test station for a voluntary test and people are urged to cherish medical resources, do not enter Penghu just for the sake of taking a rapid test, as more future troubles will follow if Penghu loses its “zero confirmed case” due to this.
