Taiwan to suspend entry for all Chinese citizens who live in mainland


TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's government said on Wednesday it would suspend entry for all Chinese citizens who live in mainland China from Thursday to help combat the spread of the new coronavirus.

Taiwan had in practice already stopped entry to most Chinese, but this ban, announced by the Central Epidemic Command Centre, extends that restriction.
