Taipei, May 15 (TIWN) Taiwan residents were urged on Friday to download a social-distancing app after the island reported 29 locally-transmitted Covid-19 cases, a record increase in single-day infections since the beginning of the pandemic.

The remaining ones are linked to known infection clusters in northern Taiwan, he said.  Chen said the government had been working on tracing possible sources of coronavirus infection, encouraging residents to download an app to help contain the virus.
