The new rules allow crew working on cruise ships based in the country who are undergoing a self-initiated epidemic prevention program to board in case they can present a negative rapid COVID test. The group does not need to take further rapid tests on board every 2 days as was previously required - those tests are only needed when travelers show symptoms. Instead, passengers only have to conduct the test in case they display symptoms, and undergo quarantine on board if the result is positive, the bureau said.įor outbound cruise tourists undergoing a self-initiated epidemic prevention program, like those who entered Taiwan within 7 days prior to boarding the liner, still need to present a 48-hour COVID-negative rapid test when boarding. Under the new rules, which are effective immediately, the country no longer requires inbound passengers to present a negative rapid COVID test taken on the day of arrival in Taiwan/the previous day, the bureau revealed in a statement.
Taiwan further loosened its COVID control protocols on international cruise ships in an attempt to boost tourism, the Maritime and Port Bureau announced.
