 In this article, I learned about how the Taiwanese government uses Big Data to protect people from coronavirus. Taiwan is very close to the coast of mainland China, so Taiwan was expected to be serious impact by the coronavirus, yet the government manages to take so actions, in order to prevent the virus to spread.
 The Big Data analysis the government used
 Taiwan has integrated its National Health Insurance database with the immigration and customs database, and has begun to create big data for analysis. By doing this, they can know the real-time alerts during medical visits based on travel history and clinical symptoms to identify cases. Taipei City also uses (QR) code scanning and travel history and online reports of health symptoms to classify travelers’ infection risk based on the origin of the flight and travel history in the past 14 days. Those who have never been to a high-risk area receive a health declaration border pass via text message to expedite the immigration formalities. Those who have traveled to high-risk areas are quarantined at home and tracked through mobile phones to ensure that they stay at home during the incubation period. Taiwan has also set up a hotline to let citizens report suspicious symptoms of themselves or others. With the development of the disease, the government called on major cities to establish their own hotlines to avoid the main hotline being blocked.
 The Taiwan government has really did a lot to prevent the spread of the virus, eventually it had been well controlled, hope the pandemic can end very soon.
