The country has 23 million citizens of which 850 000 reside in and 404 000 work in China. In 2019, 2.71 million visitors from the mainland traveled to Taiwan. As such, Taiwan has been on constant alert and ready to act on  epidemics arising from China ever since the severe acute respiratory  syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003. Given the continual spread of COVID-19  around the world, understanding the action items that were implemented  quickly in Taiwan and assessing the effectiveness of these actions in  preventing a large-scale epidemic may be instructive for other  countries.
