Taoyuan Offering Five Days of Walk-in Vaccination 明起連5天 桃市接種站免預約可打第3劑

Another elementary school in Taoyuan suspended classes on Jan. 11. Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan announced that people can get boosters without reservations for five days starting on Jan. 12. 

The campus is completely empty and silent. This is an elementary school in Taoyuan's Zhongli District. On Jan. 10, a family member of a student tested positive. The school announced classes would be suspended on Jan. 11 as a precaution.

Nearby Business Proprietor: “There was a case there, I think a student or a family member tested positive.”

Nearby Business Proprietor: “I think it was a parent or someone who tested positive elsewhere, and the school suspended classes as a precaution. They only announced it late at night yesterday.”

Personnel from the city's Department of Environmental Protection disinfected the campus. Elsewhere in the city, students at two elementary schools have tested positive. Both schools suspended classes for 14 days and tested a total of 708 people. All were negative. There were also three junior high schools where family members of students tested positive. They suspended classes for one day and have already resumed classes.

Cheng Wen-tsan, Mayor, Taoyuan City: “Students from the three (junior high) schools all tested negative, so we allowed these three schools to resume classes today. An elementary school announced the suspension of classes yesterday as a precaution. We will decide whether it can resume classes tomorrow once the test results come out in the afternoon.”

Taoyuan City Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan inspected community testing sites. He said 770 people related to the Golden Voice Social Club tested negative and three tested positive. Test results are pending for another 22. Community testing sites have tested 8,002 people as of Jan. 11, uncovering seven cases. The city is aiming to expand testing as well as increase the vaccination capacity.

Cheng Wen-tsan, Mayor, Taoyuan City: “In the five days between Wednesday, Jan. 12, which is tomorrow, and Jan. 16, people can get vaccinated without appointments. On Jan. 17, we'll switch over to the 1922 reservation system.”

People will be able to get boosters without the need to make reservations for five days starting on Jan. 12. The Taoyuan International Airport cluster infection continues to grow, while the number of imported cases is skyrocketing. Cheng admitted that each day is a new test, and people need to remain vigilant.
 

校園空蕩蕩，少了孩子的嬉鬧聲，因為桃園市中壢區某國小，再出現學生的家人確診，校方深夜緊急宣布，11日預防性停課一天。

附近店家：「裡面有疫情，好像是學生，還是家長中了（確診）。」

另位附近店家說：「有這個家長還是什麼，大概是在別的地方出了狀況，學校為了預防性，它就今天（停課），昨天很晚才宣布停課。」

環保局人員，來回噴灑，全校大清消，疫情持續擴大，桃園目前已經有兩間國小，有學生確診，宣布停課14天，而兩校採檢共708人，結果出爐全是陰性。至於，還有3所國中，同學家人確診，預防性停課一天後，陸續復課。

桃園市長鄭文燦表示：「3個（國中）同學採檢都是陰性，因此我們讓這3所國中今天就復課，另外昨天有一個國小也是預防性停課，下午採檢的結果出來後，就決定明天是否復課。」

來到社區採檢站視察，市長鄭文燦透露，金嗓歌友會，已採770人陰性、3人陽性，還有22人等待採檢，至於，社區採檢站，截至11日，已採8002人，揪出7名確診個案，而不只要擴大採檢，更要衝高疫苗接種量能。

鄭文燦指出：「12日星期三，也就是明天開始，我們會安排到16日，也就是連續5天，這5天不用預約，17日開始，我們就要轉入1922預約系統。」

從12日週三開始，一連5天「免預約」就能直接施打第三劑疫苗，只是桃機疫情持續擴大，面對境外確診案例來襲，鄭文燦也坦言，每天都是考驗，更要提高警覺應對。
