The TSMC Wellness Center will continue to follow the situation and provide consultation and assistance. The TSMC Epidemic Prevention Committee has tracked this employee’s contact history. Applying stricter standards than government health agencies, it has identified around 30 people who have come in close contact and those people have started 14 days of home quarantine. The Company will continue to monitor their health situation each day and provide necessary assistance in order to support later follow-up. In addition to the current disinfection routine, disinfection in office areas was expanded today, including this employee’s work area and related common areas.
