TAIPEI (Reuters): Taiwan will form its first travel bubble during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the tiny Pacific nation of Palau, the government said on Wednesday (March 17).

Taiwan has kept the pandemic well under control thanks to early and effective prevention, but has kept its borders largely shut, and the bubble marks a small return to normality. Taiwan currently has only 29 active cases being treated in hospitals.
