TAIPEI—Taiwan Premier Su Tseng-chang defended the island’s health minister on Tuesday amid a rare uptick in domestic COVID-19 infections, saying that even if he were a god reborn on earth he could not protect against every eventuality.
Since last month, Taiwan has been dealing with a cluster of 26 infections so far linked to a quarantine hotel at the island’s main international airport at Taoyuan outside of Taipei, with pilots, hotel workers, and their family members affected.
