Taiwan reported 12 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, all but one of whom contracted the disease overseas, and one death from the disease, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).
The new domestic case is a Taipei resident in her 60s whose daughter had tested positive for the disease on Friday, the CECC said.
The 11 imported cases were five Taiwanese and six foreign nationals who recently traveled to Taiwan from Russia, the United States, Honduras, Singapore, Canada, the Czech Republic, Poland, Myanmar, South Africa, and Cambodia.
