TAIPEI -- Recent data on new coronavirus infections in Taiwan fell short of the actual count by 400 patients, health authorities said Saturday, as the island fights its worst upswing in COVID-19 cases.
Daily reports on new cases from Sunday to Monday this week missed 30 to 100 patients a day, officials said at a news conference held by the Ministry of Health's Central Epidemic Command Center. Health Minister Chen Shih-chung blamed the miscount on reporting delays by local authorities amid a surge in cases.
