If an inmate of corrective agency is a confirmed case of COVID-19 (including rapid test), and is determined by the doctor, the agency will, depending on the severity, guard the target in hospital or in the isolation zone of the prison, also will diagnose, giving treatment by physicians of cooperative hospital and assist in related medical care process; above cases are handled pursuant to the "Regulations governing the Implementation of the Epidemiological Surveillance and Advance-Alert System for Communicable Diseases", and the "Precautions for Surveillance on Infectious Diseases in Densely Populated Institutions" and other regulations formulated by Taiwan Centers for Disease Control, reporting the case to the competent health authority where the agency is located within 24 hours.
  Furthermore, all inmates, including Taiwanese and foreigners, who are diagnosed as confirmed cases or is a close contact by doctor based on above procedures, shall be included in the list of corrective agency reporting to local healthcare authority by rule and informing the taking-over unit to master the inmate's health while any of them rejected to be taken into custody, bail, expiry execution period or before parole, with doing so, subsequent process is fulfilled well. If the inmate is under care with isolation, he shall stay there for 7 days, plus another 7 days for self-health management, which is subject to the epidemic prevention regulations formulated by the Central Epidemic Command Center. In case of hearing, mention, return after 7 days of discharge, each corrective agency will notify relevant court, prosecution and judicial police agency for related epidemic prevention measures. The news report of "confirmed cases were unveiled after leaving the agency, causing the take-over unit to face infectious risk” is not true, and we hereby give it a special clarification for correct understanding of the fact.
  Facing with such severe epidemic situation, we keep arranging everything as instructed by the Central Epidemic Command Center. For any middle to severe cases of COVID-19, we not only send the case to the hospital for timely diagnosis and treatment, but also plan for three separate areas for mild and asymptomatic confirmed cases, close contacts, and ordinary inmates. We also formulated the "Guidelines for Corrective Agency affiliated to Agency of Corrections, Ministry of Justice for Isolation and Care of COVID-19 Inmates", and cooperated with the "New Taiwan Model" of epidemic prevention policy starting from March 16, 2022, where each corrective authority is requested for in-situ custody mode to implement anti-epidemic measures to give the epidemic under effective control, maintaining health of inmates and normal operation of agencies.
