Taiwan recorded 14 COVID-19 deaths and 72 severe cases over the past seven days, marking the highest weekly death toll during the current wave of infections, local media reported Tuesday, citing health authorities.
The latest figures have raised concerns as COVID-19 infections continue to increase across the island.
Taiwan had already entered a new COVID-19 epidemic phase in July after 4,766 people sought treatment for the disease in a single week.
Health authorities have been closely monitoring the rise in cases and severe infections as the current wave continues.
