A large truck carrying Juyang protective isolation clothing suddenly caught fire on the Nantun section of National Highway No. 1 at 6 o'clock this morning. The Taichung City Fire Department dispatched a passenger vehicle to rescue. All three people in the vehicle got out of the vehicle and took refuge. The 20,000 pieces of isolation gowns were too late to be rescued. Juyang said that very few losses will be covered by insurance companies, which will have no impact on operations, and the monthly production capacity of isolation gowns reaches millions of pieces. Although some of them are damaged, they will not affect the national epidemic prevention.

A large truck departed from the Juyang Chiayi factory this morning, carrying 20,000 isolation garments to Taoyuan for storage. However, the truck caught fire when it passed 183.9k northward on National Highway No. 1, causing 20,000 isolation garments on the vehicle to burn. The cause of the fire remains to be investigated. The three people in the vehicle got out of the vehicle and took refuge in time. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the isolation suits were not all burned out. The cause of the fire still needs further investigation.

The director of Juyi pointed out that the loss is very small and Juyang has transportation insurance insured, which will be covered by the insurance company, which will not affect the company's operations. The daily production capacity of isolation gowns can reach 70,000 to 80,000 pieces, and the monthly production capacity can reach millions of pieces. The production line can be produced immediately, and 20,000 gowns can be replaced and damaged, which has no effect on national epidemic prevention.

With the help of the industry, the government recruited textile companies to form a national protective clothing/isolation team. Juyang was one of the members and the first garment factory to undertake the highest level of P3 protective clothing. It attracted President Tsai Ing-wen and Vice President Lai Qingde to visit .
