Is Taiwan TOTALLY CLOSED from the rest of the world? No flights coming in from anywhere?

Yes. There’s no mystery. Taiwan is an island nation with one major international airport.

They knew about the Wuhan virus in January and cut off all travel from China. They allowed entry in to Taiwan only after two week quarantine in China and then two week quarantine in Taiwan. All entrants to Taiwan were screened for virus and temperature.

All travel from other countries was stopped and the same stringent screening measures were out in place.

Cases in Taiwan were few enough for contact tracing and quarantine which was enforced.
