Migrant workers would not be allowed to work with people who are at high risk of COVID-19 infection during their first seven days after arrival in Taiwan, a labor official said yesterday, ahead of a planned border restriction update on Thursday next week that requires seven days of self-health management, but no quarantine.
Incoming migrant workers would have to stay at workers’ dormitories or hotels for those seven days and would not be allowed to work with children aged six or younger, or elderly or immunocompromised people, Workforce Development Agency Director-General Tsai Meng-liang (蔡孟良) told a news conference in Taipei.
Exceptions would be made if the person being cared for agrees to the migrant worker moving in immediately or if there is nobody else who can care for them, he said, adding that daily screening would be required for those who start work immediately.
One week before arrival in Taiwan, caregivers would be required to inform the Ministry of Labor where they would spend those seven days through its migrant workers’ Web site, fwas.wda.gov.tw, he said.
They must stay alone in a room with a bathroom attached, Tsai said.
The employer’s address must also be entered, along with proof that they have received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, he added.
However, those planning to stay at a dormitory or hotel can file that information within three days of arrival in Taiwan, Tsai said.
The employer must organize the worker’s transportation from the airport or they can use services offered by the airport, he said.
Migrant workers would have to take a COVID-19 rapid test within two days of arrival and enter the result on the ministry’s Web site, he said.
They should take three more rapid tests — one every two days — during their first week in Taiwan, Tsai said, adding that they would only need to report the results if they test positive.
Migrant workers who stay in designated hotels during the first seven days are eligible for a labor ministry subsidy of NT$1,250 per day, he said.
