Taiwan's government is planning a campaign to get information on health and hygiene to migrant workers after an Indonesian caregiver was recently confirmed to be infected with the novel coronavirus.
The labor ministry has urged employers not to hire illegal migrant workers. Violators will face fines between NT$150,000 and NT$750,000 (US$5,000 to US$ 25,000), which is in line with the Employment Service Act. On Wednesday, health authorities said an Indonesian migrant, working illegally in Taiwan, contracted COVID-19. The migrant worker cared for an elderly man -- Taiwan’s 27th confirmed case of COVID-19. The migrant worker is Taiwan’s 32nd confirmed case.
