Taiwan has temporarily suspended visa applications for all Chinese nationals, and has banned entry for Chinese nationals from Hubei Province, due to the coronavirus outbreak, Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement Sunday.
Chinese nationals from Hubei Province, including Chinese students, will be prohibited from entry, the statement added.
Applications of Chinese citizens from Chinese provinces other than Hubei “on account of tourism, social exchanges, professional exchanges, aesthetic medical checkups” will be temporarily suspended.
A review of applications may apply under specific circumstances.
The measures will affect Chinese students studying in Taiwan, whose entry will be postponed two weeks later, according to the statement.
Individuals on business trips arriving from China must conduct self-health management for 14 days, the statement said.
A Chinese spouse returning from Hubei, China “will be restrained on home isolation, and local competent authorities shall actively monitor the health of such spouse for 14 days,” the statement said.
