Taiwan did well because it was excluded from the WHO, a blessing in disguise. Taiwan was not bound by the lies of Tedros the Ethiopian dog and his master in Beijing.

Don’t think Taiwan did extremely well cos it was not in WHO. Rather they has been gearing up since SARS.
And they took the 1st initiative at everything. From stocking up medical supplies, banning face masks export, the 1st to ban Wuhan, HK and Macau entry, also ramming up production of Face Masks locally, rolled out islandwide testing for coronavirus -- including retesting people who had previously unexplained pneumonia, stop cruise ships docking at the island's ports, and introduce strict punishments for anyone found breaching home quarantine orders.
Till present date, they got only less than 400 cases with 2 deaths.
Singapore gold standard is a laughing face compare to Taiwan

SINGAPORE - All customers visiting supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and shopping malls must wear masks from Sunday (April 12), or they will be denied entry.

The measure is to safeguard customers' health and well-being as well as that of other customers and staff members working at these premises, Enterprise Singapore (ESG) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said in a joint statement on Saturday night.

"The shopping malls, property owners and supermarkets have the right to turn away those who do not wear masks in order to protect the health and well-being of others on the premises," they said in the statement.

Over the past few days, supermarkets have put up signs to encourage patrons to put on masks when shopping within their premises.

The cooperation of all customers, as well as the premises, will be required, ESG and STB said.
It added that since the elevated set of safe distancing measures were put in place on April 7, premises such as supermarkets have already implemented measures such as having queue markers and regulating entry to ensure that the number of customers in stores remains manageable.


ESG and STB advised members of the public to visit supermarkets, convenience stores and pharmacies on weekdays or during non-peak hours on weekends, where possible.

Customers should make their purchases quickly and refrain from lingering at the premises before and after items have been purchased.

They should also refrain from bringing family members, especially the young and elderly, to the supermarkets, to reduce congestion.

Customers can also consider visiting other outlets if the ones they frequent tend to be crowded. They can go to www.spaceout.gov.sg to check crowd levels in malls and supermarkets.

ESG and STB said they and other government agencies will continue to step up enforcement efforts during the circuit breaker period, and urged members of the public to practise safe distancing and be socially responsible.

What you mentioned about Taiwan's good work including face mask production and strict enforcement for quarantine and stay at home orders are correct. But one thing Taiwan has to be careful is that their testing rate is relatively low. I don't think they have started using the quick swab tests yet, they are still using more traditional methods and they have not tested a lot of people.

Yes just check. Updated death toll at 6.
