Taipei, June 25 (CNA) One new imported case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Taiwan on Thursday, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 447, according to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

The new patient is a man in his 60s who traveled to Guatemala in early April for work purposes, the CECC said in a press release.

He sought medical attention in Guatemala after he developed a cough, shortness of breath and musculoskeletal pain on June 1, but he tested negative for COVID-19 twice, the CECC said.

On Tuesday, the man's respiratory symptoms worsened, and he returned to Taiwan the following day, the CECC said.    [FULL  STORY]
