Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) reported 11,060 new cases of COVID-19 and 40 deaths from the disease on Wednesday.
Among the new infections, 10,876 were domestic, which represented a 9.3 percent drop from the same day a week earlier, according to the CECC.
CECC spokesperson Lo Yi-chun (???) said COVID-19 cases were expected to remain flat at around 10,000 per day for the foreseeable future.
If this trend holds, it will allow for the continued easing of COVID-19 control policies, such as possibly lifting the quarantine for people with mild infections, Lo said in a call with reporters.
To date, Taiwan has recorded 10,134,211 COVID-19 infections and 18,322 deaths from the disease since the pandemic began in early 2020.
The CECC announced on Feb. 23 that it would stop releasing more detailed daily information on new COVID-19 cases and deaths.
