National Taiwan University of Science and Technology said it would install infrared scanners at school entrances and was considering shutting some of the school’s gates.
Meanwhile, Premier Liu Chao-shiuan (劉兆玄) appointed Vice Premier Paul Chiu (邱正雄) on Tuesday as commander-in-chief in coordinating departments to deal with any escalation in the current (A)H1N1 pandemic situation.
Amid the backdrop of a coming Cabinet reshuffle, the appointment of Chiu was seen as a sign Liu hopes to keep Chiu, who he relies on heavily for economic advice, as his deputy.
Chiu was in charge of the much-criticized response center for the relief work after Typhoon Morakot.
