To take this year's enterovirus outbreak as an example, NQS director general Wu Tsung-neng estimates on the basis of reports from 800 physicians at selected locations throughout Taiwan that some 450,000 people were infected. The majority of people now have antibodies to the virus, so it will not cause another major epidemic in the next few years.
以這次的腸病毒感染為例，檢疫總所所長吳聰能根據八百位定點醫師的回報預估，今年約有四十五萬人感染過腸病毒，多數人體內已有抗體，腸病毒近年內不可能再造成大流行。
