There were crowds of people queuing up in pharmacies all over the island early in the morning, but the health insurance system crashed (crashed) repeatedly, and the public complained.

According to reports, the number of confirmed cases is rising, which puts the people on the island under pressure. "Second Kill" bought short , even Kinmen, an outer island, was no exception. In addition, the health insurance card system crashed for a while. The staff of the pharmacy and the public on the island complained that "the nightmare of the mask real-name system is repeating itself." , Grab the rapid screening reagents now, what are you going to grab next time?"

reported that the health insurance system crashed for nearly 30 minutes when some people inserted their cards in Taipei City, leaving pharmacy staff and customers helplessly waiting. Taipei City Councilor Li Mingxian said that he went to 3 pharmacies to get the number plate, "it's really messed up." Drugstores in Yilan and Hualien had queues under the bright sun before opening. The
report also stated that the supply of rapid screening reagents is in short supply and chaos is frequent. The major pharmacies in Keelung and Taoyuan start to distribute at different times, and some people criticize the policy confusion. Some pharmacies in Keelung City are limited to "one card for one person", while others are open to "on behalf of pick-up". Some people bought two boxes with two cards, which caused people behind to not buy it, which also caused controversy.
In addition, some people in Tainan City were required to quickly test negative to go to work because a colleague in the company was diagnosed. Compared with northern Taiwan, although the epidemic situation in Kinmen and Pingtung counties is not serious, there were crowds of people queuing up yesterday, but most of the buyers said that they wanted to buy screening agents to send to relatives and friends in the north.
A pharmacy worker in Hsinchu City complained that if the DPP authorities had relevant policies, the pharmacy should have been notified first. Unexpectedly, they only found out after watching TV the day before the sale.
reported that there are 4,909 health insurance pharmacies in Taiwan implementing the "quick screening real-name system". According to statistics from the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, as of 13:00 on the 28th, 1,677 institutions were sold out, accounting for about 25% of the total. Of the 415,584 sieves sold, 244,499 were sold out, accounting for more than half. The
report also mentioned that in response to complaints from various places on the island that the "real-name system for rapid screening" made it difficult to buy reagents, the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center had to try to "save" the number of public-funded rapid screening reagents, and provide them for the original "3+4" home isolation. The 5-dose public-funded rapid screening is now changed to only 3 doses for adults, college students and above, and 2 doses for elementary and high school students.
Chen Shizhong, the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, said that the epidemic prevention materials are precious and need to be used sparingly. In terms of epidemic prevention, they do not need to be used if they are not going out (rapid screening reagents), so they will not be "used every day." Regarding the "3+4" (referring to the Taiwan authorities shortening the isolation period of close contacts on the island to to 3 days after the expiry of the isolation period, and then carrying out 4 days of "self-prevention" after a rapid test is negative), Chen Shizhong argued that the rush to go on the road has increased the pressure on local administration. During the epidemic prevention period, every action came quickly and urgently, and the pressure on any unit became greater. He claimed that he felt "sorry" and "the only blame is virus ".
Responding to all kinds of chaos caused by the Taiwan authorities’ introduction of the “quick screening real-name system”, Taiwan’s “China Times” commented that people on the island crowded pharmacies to buy quick screening agents, as if returning to the scene of queuing up to buy masks two years ago. In epidemic prevention, the chance of cluster infection is still increasing. Taiwan has been short of masks, vaccines, medicines, and now it is short of rapid screening agents. The success of the initial stage of epidemic prevention has fostered the complacency of DPP government officials. Don't you feel ashamed of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, which was once complacent about its achievements in epidemic prevention and "let the world see Taiwan"?
Taiwan's Epidemic Command Center announced on the 28th that the island's newThere were 11,517 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, which were 11,353 local cases and 164 imported cases from abroad. In addition, 2 new deaths were added to the confirmed cases.
