The new domestic cases were all linked to previously reported clusters in Taoyuan, Kaohsiung, and Yilan County, CECC spokesperson Chuang Jen-hsiang (???) said.

Nine of the domestic cases were fully vaccinated, while six children under the age of 10 and a man over the age of 40 had not received any vaccine doses, according to CECC data.
