we will have a report from taipei.slinda: taiwan is celebrating a remarkable milestone in the virus pandemic. without a single locally recorded case. this is a significant moment. this is aright, significant moment. the milestone of 200 days without a locally transmitted coronavirus case. that is by far the world's best virus record, even as coronavirus erupted in europe and in the u.s.. taiwan last reported a local case on april 12. there has been no second wave. taiwan is about the size of australia. it had 550 confirmed cases with only seven deaths. that is among the lowest totals globally. some experts we talked to say taiwan is the only major country that has so far been able to keep the community transmission of coronavirus eliminated. that is more impressive because many people in taiwan live closely with one another in apartments. it is not easy to have that achievement. rishaad: how has taiwan managed to do this? tell me about some of the measures that have been in place preventing it, and what measures are in
