Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen tested negative for Covid-19 on Friday but her public events will all be cancelled until April 14, her office said.
Presidential Office spokesman Xavier Chang said Tsai had a meal with family members at her residence on Monday, one of whom later tested positive for Covid-19.
Tsai had tested negative and was in good health, but her public events would be cancelled until April 14 and she would work from home, he added.
Taiwan targets zero serious Covid-19 cases amid gradual rise in infections
Taiwan has had 2,719 domestic cases so far since the start of this year, a comparatively small rise in cases but still in larger numbers than it has generally previously reported, having kept the pandemic well under control.
More than 99 per cent of cases since the start of this year have either had mild or no symptoms, with only one death, and the government has said its plans to gradually reopen remain unchanged.
Taiwan has reported 26,263 cases and 853 deaths since the pandemic began more than two years ago.
