When word/rumor of the disease first appear, Taiwan sent it's own expert to Wuhan to get assessment of the situation, and instead of following WHO recomendation at the time, took the advice of it's own expert and instead choose to follow their advice and started screening people coming from that region.
Government also took a harder stance to stamp down and punish people spreading rumor or false information for their own profit, like the reseller claiming that toilet paper will disappear because they are same material as face mask(Fake news)
Active monitering of people suspected(testing) and those under self quarantine, where social worker will check on them to bring them supply and ensure they are self-quarataine, if found to be missing, their name and picture will be released on local news and local police will work with public and traffic team with cameria to find and bring them back, where they will be charged and fined(Multiple instance already, but now not a lot)
Public area with temperature checking and manditory monitoring by business and public themself.
Government opening new machine to manufacture more face mask for public and health worker, with rationing by national insurance ID(3 per adult, 5 per child)
WIthin a month, manufacturing capability goal was reached a nd rationing can be increase
And new system just activated sine some people are work or unable to visit the drug store, they can now ship them to you and set up pick up time at any of the drug store that get daily mask(Younger generation people and newer politician idea, using APP and other form of payment, which older politician accepted and implemented)
And people coming back from affect region, today 361 Taiwanese came back on two plane, the health authority, allowed them all to disembark in a closed off section of the airport, and took their information and check their situation, those that are deem already infected or at risk are taken to hospital to be treated.
Rest of the passenger will be taken to various quarantine area to be watched and tested for 2 week before allowing them to travel freely in Taiwan
Government is also increasing the pay of ICU hospital worker by 10k per month
And getting the general public to wear face mask when in area, and use hand sanatizer, etc.
So Government working with local business, and younger people together to go through this situation
