Restaurant Dining to be Banned? 實施禁止餐廳內用? 雙北目前暫不考慮

It is supposed to have many parties around the Lunar New Year. Both Taipei and New Taipei said they will not consider banning restaurant dining for the time being.

The Taipei Urban Intelligence Center has officially opened. Data will be used to improve the efficiency of city operations. The COVID-19 information dashboard, developed in response to the epidemic, can effectively trace the epidemic's hotspots and make accurate epidemic adjustments. As the infection spread at Taoyuan Airport, many young and middle-aged groups in neighboring Taipei and New Taipei cities complained that they could not make an appointment for Moderna booster shots on the central government's appointment platform.

Ko Wen-je, Taipei City Mayor: “We release however many vaccines the central government gives us. We're only responsible for administering them. The vaccine is still given by the central government. Of course, we also know the approximate percentage of applications and we will decide how much we're going to release out.”

Hou Yu-ih, New Taipei City Mayor: “We are putting all our efforts into administering shots to elders over 65 years old. That's about 447,000 doses. We will use Moderna first for these shots. As for the future 20th round of vaccines, basically, the central government has given us mainly BNT vaccines.”

The number of confirmed cases is increasing due to the Taoyuan Airport outbreak which has extended to a cluster outbreak at Tasty restaurant. There are many dinner parties around the Lunar New Year. Should restaurant dining be prohibited? The CECC is maintaining a moderate attitude. It will not prohibit all restaurant dining because someone in a single restaurant is infected. Both Taipei and New Taipei will not consider banning restaurant dining for the time being.

Huang Shan-shan, Deputy Mayor of Taipei City: “Taipei City restaurants have not reported any so-called native cases yet. We have also published all dining guidelines in Taipei. That is, we will strictly check whether restaurants have implemented the real-name, contact tracing system. This system is by far the most effective way.”

Hou Yu-ih, New Taipei City Mayor: “At this stage, there is no ban on restaurant dining. We do our best to guard against the epidemic, which is the most important direction.”

The Lunar New Year is about to arrive. The Central Epidemic Command Center announced that the level two alert will be maintained until the 24th. People returning to their hometowns and traveling between south and north during the Lunar New Year holiday will be a major test for epidemic prevention.

 

台北大數據中心正式啟用，要從數據來提升市政運作效能，而因應疫情開發的新冠肺炎資訊整合儀表板，有效劃分疫情熱區、冷區，並做精準疫調，面對桃園機場群聚感染擴散，鄰近的雙北，許多青壯年族群抱怨在中央第20期預約平台，施打第三劑追加劑，都預約不到莫德納。

台北市長柯文哲表示:「中央給我們多少疫苗，我們就去開放，我們只負責打，至於疫苗還是中央給的，當然我們也知道，大概申請的百分比，決定說我們大概要布多少點。」

新北市長侯友宜則說:「全力在施打65歲以上長輩，大概有44萬7千劑，都是先使用來莫德納，至於未來第20期，基本上中央配發給新北市的都是BNT為主。」

面對桃園機場群聚延伸出西堤餐廳群聚，確診數不斷增加，加上年節將到聚餐多，是否要禁止餐廳內用？指揮中心採取中庸態度，不會因為一家餐廳有人染疫就禁止所有餐廳內用，雙北也暫不考慮禁止餐廳內用。

台北市副市長黃珊珊認為:「台北市餐廳還沒有所謂的本土案例發生，也已發布所有台北市的餐飲指引，也就是會不定時地嚴格稽查有沒有落實實名制，實名制目前為止還是最有效的方式。」

侯友宜指出:「現階段並沒有要禁止餐廳內用，我們全力守住疫情，才是我們最重要的方向。」

年節將到指揮中心宣布二級警戒維持到24日，農曆春節假期，國人返鄉過年南來北往，對疫情來說將是一大考驗。
