The Tai-Ex opened up 118-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
16,174 on turnover of 4.9-billion N-T.

The market rallied on Tuesday, as the bellwether electronics sector continued

volatility in U-S markets as the Federal Reserve considers more rate hikes.

The Central Epidemic Command Center has adjusted the criteria for admitting
coronavirus patients to hospital - saying the move is aimed at preserve
medical capacity due to the high number of domestic infections.

The new policy means that only patients with moderate or severe infections,
infants under the age of 3-months with a fever, and patients with other
illnesses who are assessed by doctors to require hospitalization will be
admitted (入院).

The policy removes guidelines requiring automatic hospital admission for
seniors aged 80 and above, women 36 weeks pregnant and over, and infants aged
3-12 months with a fever above 39-degrees Celsius.

These groups, as well as people aged 70 and above or aged 65-69 and living
alone, are now being placed in government-run quarantine centers or
designated hotels.

North Korea today reported almost 233-thousand new cases of fever and another
six deaths as leader Kim Jong Un accused officials of ``immaturity'' and
``slackness (鬆懈)'' in handling the escalating COVID-19 outbreak.

The country's anti-virus headquarters said 62 people have died and more than
1.7 million fell ill amid a rapid spread of fever since late April.

It said more than a million people recovered but over 691-thousand remain in
quarantine.

Outside experts say most of the illnesses would be COVID-19.

since acknowledging an omicron outbreak last week, likely because of
insufficient testing capabilities.

The Biden administration is touting new efforts by the Food and Drug
