Major’s Remarks:
1. Recently, there have been numerous accidents caused by blind spots resulting from steering geometry in large vehicles, drawing significant media attention. Despite our ongoing efforts to optimize road systems, crosswalks, and traffic signals and to conduct social education campaigns, accidents persist. We urge the Transportation Bureau to collaborate closely with the Motor Vehicle Office, Police Bureau, and other relevant units to intensify the promotion of proper traffic awareness. This is particularly critical during the summer vacation and peak tourist season to prevent incidents, such as drunk driving and driver fatigue.
2. After COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were lifted last year, infections have been on the rise once again. Infants, young children, and adults aged 65 and above are considered high-risk populations. The Public Health Bureau is urged to intensify efforts to promote vaccination among citizens. While our city currently leads among six special municipalities in vaccination rates for infants, young children, and the general public, increasing vaccination coverage among those aged 65 and older is a priority. Colleagues are encouraged to get vaccinated promptly to protect themselves and others.
3. With regard to the “Report on Advancing the Tainan Municipal Hospital Cancer Building,” the Public Health Bureau is urged to address public feedback from the hearing and suggestions made by experts and scholars during the review meeting.
