COVID-19 has reared its ugly head in Taiwan, the latest front in the global pandemic. Taiwan beat the virus back in 2020 but faces a sterner test in 2021 with a worrying spike in infections. Eyes on Asia interviews RFA's Min Mitchell from quarantine in Taipei about how the island is responding to the health crisis.
