In June of this year, the Executive Yuan passed the "Amended Draft Regulations for Infectious Disease Prevention." The existing list of infectious illnesses to be combated was expanded from 11 to 34. It also stipulates that if a doctor discovers a case of a communicable disease and does not report it to health agencies within a set amount of time, the doctor will be fined anything from NT $ 6,000 to $ 30,000.
行政院在今年六月通過「傳染病防治條例修正草案」，將現行點名防治的傳染病，從十一種擴增為卅四種；並規定醫師若發現傳染病例而未在規定期限內呈報衛生單位，將處以六千元以上、三萬元以下的罰鍰。
