They have not shown any symptoms as of now, the statement said.
The disease control agency has identified 220 people having contact with them, including passengers on the same flight and their shuttle bus as well as the hotel staff, and will continue to track more.
Among the confirmed cases in Taiwan, seven have died, 491 have recovered, and 37 others remain hospitalized, according to the agency.
