Taiwan has announced it is planning to donate 10 million face masks, plus medicine, to medical staff in countries that are fighting coronavirus.
The self-governed island claimed by Beijing has been seeking to showcase its own handling of the outbreak as it pushes back against China's efforts to isolate it diplomatically.
Taiwan had 329 confirmed cases and five deaths as of Wednesday. The Japanese electronics maker Sharp has meanwhile said it was expanding production of surgical masks to locations in Europe, China and India. Sharp earlier said it was launching production of surgical masks in Japan.
