Mayor’s Remarks:
1. The upcoming election for the 16th President, Vice President, and 11th Legislators is fast approaching. To ensure the seamless operation of polling stations and to encourage the public to report any unlawful activities that may affect the voting process, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Police Bureau, and other pertinent bureaus and departments are urged to verify the distribution of election bulletins and voting notices. Any reported illegal activities or behaviors that could impact the voting process should be promptly referred to the appropriate public security and judicial authorities for investigation.
2. The Ministry of Health and Welfare's Center for Disease Control and Prevention foresees that respiratory symptoms and the COVID-19 epidemic may peak in mid-to-late January. To address this, we kindly urge citizens to obtain the publicly funded XBB vaccine as soon as possible. Currently, the vaccination rate in Tainan needs to be strengthened. We offer a choice between Novavax and Moderna's latest XBB vaccines. We strongly encourage everyone to seize this opportunity and get vaccinated promptly to ensure their protection. As of now, our city has recorded 388 COVID-19-related deaths. We extend a special request to long-term care institutions, schools, and city government employees to prioritize vaccination.
3. The Public Works Bureau is kindly requested to assist the Sports Bureau in actively sourcing firms to bid on the “Public Sports Center of Yong Kang District, Tainan City.”
