2009 flu pandemic in Taiwan
2009 flu pandemic in Taiwan began on May 20, 2009, when a non-citizen who had been living in Taiwan returned from the United States via Hong Kong.〔(First imported case of influenza A (H1N1) confirmed in Taiwan. )〕 By the end of September, more than 90% of influenza A detected in the community were influenza A(H1N1).〔(Taiwan Influenza Express (Week 39 in 2009). )〕
==Initial response==
After WHO raised the influenza pandemic phase to phase 4 on April 28, 2009, Taiwan established the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), and convened the first CECC meeting on the same day.〔(Minister of Health convenes first meeting held by Central Epidemic Command Center )〕〔(WHO raises influenza pandemic alert level, Taiwan establishes Central Epidemic Command Center in response )〕 Taiwan CDC also announced pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection as category I notifiable disease which should be reported within 24 hours and all suspect patients should be hospitalized and isolated till the diagnosis was excluded.〔(Suspected influenza A (H1N1) case must be reported within 24 hours )〕Besides routine fever screening, which has been in place since the SARS period in 2003, multiple border quarantine measures began on April 29 to delay the importation of the virus, as a result of meeting. On-board quarantine was performed on all flights came directly from the Americas and passengers were encouraged to report voluntarily to quarantine officers if they had flu-like symptoms.〔(Taiwan CDC to implement onboard quarantine inspection of certain flights )〕 Through enhanced screening and quarantine, the first imported case was found when a 52-year-old foreign resident of Taiwan returned from the United States via Hong Kong on May 20. The man had been in the United States from February 20 to May 18 and was symptomatic on his flight back to Taiwan. He was sent to designated hospital directly from the airport,isolated, treated with oseltamivir and recovered fully. All passengers seated within three rows of the ill passenger were contacted, given chemoprophylaxis and quarantined.〔(First imported case of influenza A (H1N1) confirmed in Taiwan; current pandemic alert level in Taiwan raised to phase 2 (yellow light) )〕 Quarantine on board discontinued on May 20, after the first case was found. In the following week, 9 more imported cases were found by fever screening in the airport. On May 24, the first domestic case that became infected with influenza A (H1N1) through close contact with an imported case was diagnosed.〔(Three new cases of influenza A (H1N1), including one domestic case, confirmed in Taiwan; current pandemic alert level in Taiwan raised to phase 3 (yellow light) )〕 Because of enhanced contact tracing and prophylactic treatment, local transmission of the virus was stopped and no other domestic cases were found.
Details of the control measures and clinical characteristics of the first 61 imported cases of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) has been published in the following article in Taiwan Epidemiology Bulletin.〔(The Response to Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Epidemic in Taiwan and Analysis of the Initial 61 Confirmed Cases )〕
