Taipei, May 30 (CNA) No new cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus were confirmed in Taiwan on Saturday, leaving the total number of cases at 442 since the pandemic began late last year, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

During a daily press briefing, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who also heads the CECC, said Saturday was also the 48th consecutive day with no domestically transmitted infections.

The last time Taiwan recorded a domestic infection was April 12, according to the CECC.

"Forty-eight straight days of no local infections is good news for Taiwan, but the pandemic is still very serious around the world where it passed six million infections today," Chen said.
