[Global Network Reporter Zhang Liyuan] Taiwan’s Changhua County Health Bureau recently tested asymptomatic teenagers who had returned to Taiwan from the United States for home quarantine and was eventually diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. According to Taiwan’s "United Daily News," Because this approach is different from the current regulations on the island’s collection and inspection, the Changhua County Health Bureau was subsequently requested by the DPP authority’s “Ministry of Health and Welfare” to accept a “political style” investigation, which caused disputes on the island. Cai Biru, a member of the " Taiwan People's Party " member, said that such a big move by the command center to prepare to investigate the prefecture, county and city health bureau is undoubtedly annoyed after being exposed to the myth of epidemic prevention.

Cai Biru said that according to information from the World Health Organization, “young and asymptomatic infected persons” are one of the sources that triggered the global pandemic of new coronary pneumonia at this time, and the Changhua County Health Bureau is dedicated to the world. From a public health point of view, cases of "young and asymptomatic infected persons" are found. If other counties and cities can be as proactive as Changhua County, they can stop the further spread of this type of case and prevent the epidemic from spreading to the community.
Cai Biru criticized that the "Ministry of Health and Welfare" did not use public health expertise and perspective to discuss with the Changhua County Health Bureau for further testing and prevention of "young and asymptomatic infections", and even declared that it would use "political style." It is really inappropriate for the unit to investigate. Cai Biru also called out to the DPP authorities that please support counties and cities, strengthen county and city epidemic prevention, give praise to the Changhua County Health Bureau, stop using "political style" behaviors to persecute talents and spoil the painstaking efforts of the front line of epidemic prevention.
"Taiwan People's Party" "legislator" Lai Xiangling also said that if the DPP authorities and the counties and cities have different opinions on the epidemic prevention standard mechanism notification process, they should communicate and coordinate instead of letting the Changhua County Health Bureau be investigated. Lai Xiangling questioned what the Changhua County Health Bureau, who tested positive, had done wrong. She sternly condemned Chen Shizhong, Taiwan’s “Minister of Health and Welfare,” and asked Chen Shizhong to explain to the public on the basis of the Changhua County Health Bureau’s investigation.
According to reports, with regard to this incident, Changhua County Health Director Ye Yanbo said that screening tests were handled in accordance with relevant procedures, and it was inconvenient to disclose the details. Changhua County Mayor Wang Huimei went to the Changhua County Health Bureau this morning to cheer for Ye Yanbo and the grassroots employees, and said, "I am responsible for everything."
