Mainland China refers to the part of Greater China excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The outbreak of 2019-nCoV was first manifested by a cluster of mysterious pneumonia in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province in Mainland China. After a Wuhan hospital notified local center for disease control and prevention (CDC) and health commissions on 27 On 31 December, Wuhan CDC admitted there was a cluster of unknown pneumonia regarding Huanan Seafood Market, as unverified documents appeared on the Internet. The potential disease outbreak soon drew nationwide attention, including that of the National Health Commission (NHC) in Beijing, who sent experts to Wuhan on the following day. On 8 January, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of the pneumonia.[6] The sequence of the virus was soon published on an open-access database.[7] Measures taken by China were widely praised by many including the World Health Organization (WHO).[8][9][10] China's response appeared to be much more transparent, especially when compared to how the country responded to SARS in 2003.[9][11]
However, delayed and controversial response by the Wuhan and Hubei authorities failed to contain the outbreak in the early stage, which has led to criticism from the public and the media.[12] By 29 January, the virus had been spread to all provinces of Mainland China.[13][14][15] By 2 February, over 300 had died of the coronavirus infection-associated pneumonia and 14,380 were confirmed to be infected. In Hubei alone, there were 9074 cases of infections and 224 related deaths.[16] All provinces of Mainland China had initiated the highest response level to public health emergency.[17] WHO declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” on 31 January,[15] for fear that the virus spread beyond China to where there is no robust healthcare system, despite its confidence in China's efforts.[18]
President Xi Jinping warned a 'grave situation' facing China.[19] The Central Politburo formed a special leading group for epidemic control led by Premier Li Keqiang. Chinese New Year celebrations were cancelled. Passengers were checked for their temperatures.[20] Commands for epidemic control (CEC) have been formed in different regions including Wuhan and Hubei. Many inter-province bus services[21] and railway services have been suspended.[22] By 29th, all Hubei cities had been quarantined.[23] Curfew laws are in practice in Huanggang, Wenzhou[24] and other Mainland cities.[25] The region also sees a huge shortage of face masks and other protective gears, despite itself being the world's manufacturing hub for these products.[26]
With the increasing reported cases of infections, fear upgraded along with regional discrimination in China and racial discrimination beyond China, despite calls for stopping the discrimination by many governments.[27][28] Rumors circulated across Chinese social media, along with counter-rumor efforts by media and governments.[29][30]
Context
Fear of another Sars outbreak
New infectious diseases impose a serious threat to the health of the general public. Their origins are often mysterious despite intensive research efforts.[31] Although human coronaviruses (CoVs) had been known as major pathogens to cause the common cold,[32][33] a new species of coronavirus, namely SARS-CoV, caused an epidemic involving 29 countries during 2002-03, which infected 8098 and killed 774 of them.[33]Evidence shows that the virus might have originated from an animal coronavirus but somehow entered human population.[33][34][35] Its outbreak also implies that animal coronaviruses could be a potential danger to humans.[33]
Since 2003 Sars outbreak, the general public and the science community in China have been worried about the potential return of the deadly virus, which motivated the Chinese government to reform its public health system in order to handle next public health crisis.[36][37][38] As part of the reform, China expanded the laboratory networks to handle pathogens of infectious diseases, which include a newly-built BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan and a national key laboratory to investigate into pneumonia with unclear causes.[39] Zeng Guang, Chief Scientist at China CDC, believes a quicker publication of epidemic information was a lesson China learnt from the SARS outbreak, as lack of information release worsened the outbreak.[39]
With the improved public health system, China managed to handle several public health emergencies. In coping with 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak starting from Mexico, China developed and distributed vaccines to 100 million people within months as an active prevention.[38] During the 2013 H7N9 outbreak in East China, the country's health system identified the pathogen 5 days after the outbreak. Test kits for diagnosis were designed and distributed to all Mainland provinces 3 days after the identification. Within months, effective vaccines were developed. Besides, Chinese academic Li Lanjuan's group was the first to reveal the virus' transmission methods, molecular mechanisms and effective treatment.[40]
However, as Southern Metropolis Daily pointed out, although people pay more attention to public health, the government's funding to the health system was far from enough, as CDCs in smaller municipalities had to reduce their staff. 10 years after the Sars outbreak, few people wore a face mask when they had respiratory symptoms and hospitals were cutting off fever clinics.[41] Despite confidence in winning next battle against Sars, Zhong Nanshan, who earned a fame in fighting the Sars outbreak in 2003, still held a conservative attitude to whether Chinese officials would lie to the people about a disease outbreak.[38]

New coronavirus outbreak
On 1 December 2019, a viral pneumonia patient with an unknown cause was hospitalized at Jinyintan Hospital, a specialized hospital for infectious diseases in Wuhan, China. This patient was the earliest known case of 2019-nCoV infections. Although the patient had not had any exposure to Huanan Seafood Market, a wholesale market selling seafood and living animals, an outbreak of the virus began to happen among people who had been exposed to the market since 10 December.[42][43] The outbreak was not noticed until a Wuhan doctor found a cluster of unknown pneumonia and notified her hospital on 27 December.[44] Another Wuhan hospital had already sent a sample with the virus had already been sent to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (Shanghai PHC) on 26 December. The sample was later confirmed to contain a new virus.[42]
The outbreak was made public on 31 December, after rumor about it circulated on the Internet.[42] Since then, the virus has spread to all provinces of Mainland China and overseas.[42] By 2 February, in Mainland China, over 490 had died of the coronavirus infection-associated pneumonia and 24,313 were confirmed to be infected. In Hubei alone, there were 16,678 cases of infections and 479 related deaths.[16] WHO declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” on 31 January,[15] for fear that the virus spread beyond China to where there is no robust healthcare system, despite its confidence in China's efforts.[18]
Early cases surrounding the animal market suggests potential animal-to-human transmission, while later the virus is found to be able to transmit from ill people to others.[45] There have been cases where asymptomatic patients transmit the virus to others.[46][47] According to China NHC, the virus transmits by droplets or close contact,[48] while some proposed that feces could also be where the virus hides and transmit from.[49][50] Typical symptoms of the viral infection include fever, dry cough, dyspnea, headache, and pneumonia,[51] which are usually developed after an incubation time lasting as long as 2 weeks.[52] But there exist mild but infectious cases, which complicates the epidemic control efforts.[53] It is also noticed that patients might be able to transmit the virus even during the incubation period.[54]

Mysterious pneumonia outbreak
Discovery
On 1 December 2019, a viral pneumonia patient with an unknown cause was hospitalized at Jinyintan Hospital, a specialized hospital for infectious diseases in Wuhan, China. This patient was the earliest known case of 2019-nCoV infections. Although the patient had not had any exposure to Huanan Seafood Market, a wholesale market selling seafood and living animals, an outbreak of the virus began to happen among people who had been exposed to the market since 10 December.[42][43] On 26 December, Shanghai PHC received a sample of a patient with unknown pneumonia from Wuhan CDC and Wuhan Central Hospital and started an investigation to the sample, which was later confirmed to contain a new coronavirus.[42]
However, the outbreak was not being aware of until a cluster of unknown pneumonia was noticed by a Wuhan doctor called Zhang Jixian.[44] As an ICU doctor at Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, she found unusual changes in the lungs of her four patients, which were different from those in any known viral pneumonia. One of these patients was from Huanan Seafood Market. She reported her discovery to her hospital and the hospital soon informed Jianghan CDC. In the next two days, three more patients with similar conditions came to the clinic of the hospital, all of whom were related to the market. The hospital then notified the provincial and municipal health commissions. The health commissions appointed Wuhan and Jianghan CDC and Jinyintan Hospital to undertake epidemiological research for the seven patients on 29 December. Six of them were then transferred to Jinyintan, a specialized facility for infectious diseases. Only one patient refused the transfer.[44]
Disclosure
On the evening of 30 December, two emergent notice letters from the Municipal Health Commission of Wuhan began to circulate on the Internet, which were soon confirmed by Wuhan CDC, who admitted there were 27 cases of pneumonia of unknown cause on 31 December. The letters required all hospitals in Wuhan to report any pneumonia patient with unknown causes and related to Huanan Seafood Market. They also asked the hospitals to give proper treatment to these patients. Wuhan CDC told The Beijing News the investigation was still underway and that experts from NHC were on the way to help the investigation,[55] after rumor about it circulated on the Internet.[42]
On 1 January 2020, the seafood market was closed down by Jianghan District's Health Agency and Administration for Market Regulation due to an "environment improvement." According to China Business, workers in hazmat suits were inspecting all around the market and collecting samples. Storekeepers at the market said they were not told what the people were collecting and detecting. Urban management officers and police officers were on the spot to ask the storekeepers to finish up and leave the market.[56]
Several doctors were warned by Wuhan police for "spreading misinformation" and eight "rumormongers," who were all doctors at Wuhan hospitals according to Wang Gaofei, Weibo's CEO,[57] were summoned by police on 3 January.[58][59] Li Wenliang, one of the whistleblowers, died of the virus on 7 February.[60]
Human-to-human transmission
Frozen case number
Although the early cases surrounding an animal market may suggest animal-to-human transmission, more evidence surface to support human-to-human transmission of the virus.[45] However, despite the expert-led investigation and early signs of human-to-human transmission, including a hospital-acquired infection (nosocomial) case confirmed on 10 January according to Caixin,[61] the local government of Wuhan denied any case of nosocomial infection and kept claiming that "there was no clear sign of human-to-human transmission" until 15 January when Wuhan's Municipal Health Commission (MHC) said on its website that "the result of present investigation shows no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission, but this does not rule out the possibility of such transmission. The risk of continuous human-to-human transmission is low."[62]
The reported case number froze at 41 in Hubei Lianghui and Wuhan Lianghui, the local parliament sessions between 6–17 January, which the local authorities of Hubei and Wuhan claimed to be due to lack of PCR test kits for the new virus. But Caixin said other sequencing techniques can used for diagnosis, which take usually two days without any need of PCR kits.[63] Meanwhile, an Imperial College group[64][65] and a Hong Kong University group[66] both estimated over 1,000 cases in Wuhan as cases were being exported and confirmed overseas. Chinese netizens began to sneer that the new virus was so "patriotic" that only infected Chinese overseas as a criticism to the government.[67][68]
Surge of cases
On 20 January, the number of reported new cases soared to 136, as major Mainland cities including Beijing and Shenzhen reported their first cases.[69][70] Only then did the Wuhan authorities stop claiming that the virus had a limited ability to transmit between humans.[71] On the same day, the city formed specialized Command for Epidemic Control (CEC) to upgrade measures to cope with the epidemic, including enhanced protection over medical workers[72] and free treatment for all patients at fever clinics.[73] On the evening of that day, Zhong Nanshan, one of the NHC experts sent to Wuhan, who was well-known for fighting against SARS in 2003, exemplified human-to-human transmission of the new virus with a cluster of 14 hospital-acquired infections in Wuhan and two familial clusters in Guangdong.[74]
However, NHC still insisted that the epidemic be "manageable and preventable." At that time, BBC said that not much public attention was drawn to the virus outbreak.[61] On 19 January, despite the virus outbreak, over 40,000 Wuhan families joined a banquet, which was a community tradition observed for over two decades, to celebrate the Kitchen God Festival. The community leaders told The Beijing News that "everything is normal now," when asked about the virus outbreak.[75] According to the community committee of Bailiting Community, where the banquet was held, as of 4 February a block of the community had at least 10 confirmed cases of the coronavirus infection, plus over 30 highly suspicious case but the community hospital also said the incidence of coronavirus was lower than that in other communities.[76]
Controversial speech by Guan Yi
On 20th, Guan Yi, an expert in SARS epidemiology, told Caixin that the local government should not play on words about the transmissibility and that he hoped we could learn from 2003 SARS outbreak. He continued, "transmissibility, adaptability, incidence and virulence of the virus highly resembles those of SARS at the early stage [of 2003 outbreak]".[77] Guan's team came to Wuhan on 21 January and returned to Hong Kong the next day. He said to media that "epidemiology experts and scientists do not seem to be welcomed in the city."[78] On 22 January, Wuhan was still "an open city" to the virus outbreak, where most people did not wear a mask, although NHC had announced the coronavirus-associated pneumonia as a notifiable disease. He believed that a pandemic was unavoidable as the virus had spread with the migration flow of Chunyun.[79][80]
The statements of Guan, which were apparently different from that in most Chinese media, became highly controversial as journalists of state media reposted his statement on 15 January where he said he believed the disease was manageable and the news that his lab was fined by Chinese authorities in 2005. Wang Duan, the Caixin journalist who made the interview, described such behavior as "personal attacks" and complained that no expert had so far come forward to refute what Guan said.[81]
Hubei lockdowns
Health screening

On 19 January, according to Wuhan Radio Television, the city authorities said it would monitor anyone leaving the city as a measure to contain the epidemic. Staff of Hankou Railway Station told The Beijing News on 20th that they would check the temperature of every passengers moving into and out of the station. If the temperature was above 38℃, further examinations would be made and they would notify the hospital if necessary.[84] Although the local government claimed that such measures were claimed to be taken at the airport, railway stations, coach stations and piers in Wuhan since 14 January,[84][85] reports by Hong Kong-based Now News and Mainland-based Caixin indicated such measures were not taken at that time.[84][86] Caixin believed this to be a cause of the surge of confirmed cases.[84]

On 22 January, Wuhan MHC said the city would have a random check on any private cars in and out of the city to see whether they carried any kinds of living poultry or wildlife.[87] The city authority began to require all citizens to wear a mask in public places.[88]
Travel advice
On 20 January, in a NHC press conference in Wuhan, Zhong Nanshan advised the public to avoid visiting Wuhan unless extremely urgent and to wear face masks. He also advised the city to perform a temperature check for anyone to leave the city and take compulsory measures to stop fever patients from leaving.[89] On the following day, Zhou Xianwang, Mayor of Wuhan, urged Wuhan citizens not to leave the city and non-Wuhan citizens to avoid coming in an interview by state media.[87] NHC also warned that a coronavirus outbreak had happened in Wuhan.[90]
On the same day, China Railway and Civil Aviation Administration announced that passengers were allowed to cancel stays or change dates for free if they had booked a ticket from/to Wuhan.[87][91] Wuhan-bound railway tickets purchased via Hong Kong's MTR could also be refunded.[92] Wuhan announced to postpone its tourism promotion activities for the Chinese New Year.[87]
Lockdown of Wuhan
On 22 January, Li Lanjuan, one of the NHC experts sent to Wuhan, flew to Beijing and advised the quarantine of Wuhan, which was soon adopted.[93][94] On the early morning of 23 January, the government of Wuhan announced a sudden lockdown at around 2 o'clock, which said, "Since 10:00 AM on 23 January 2020, the city's bus, metro, ferry, coach services will be suspended. Without a special reason, citizens should not leave Wuhan. Departure from the airport and railway stations will be temporarily prohibited. Recovery time of the services will be announced in a further notice."[95] Thus, Wuhan became a locked down area of a Class A Infectious Disease according to The law on Prevention and Treatment of Infections Diseases.[96]

Railway
China Railway announced later on the day of lockdown (23 January) that departure from railway stations in Wuhan would be stopped in order to assist the epidemic control, but transferring trains at Wuchang Station, Wuhan Station, and Hankou Station would be still allowed.[97][98] It also extended free refund and changing policy that originally applied to Wuhan to all parts of Mainland China, so as to reduce population movement.[99] On 24th, China Railway Wuhan (CRW) announced suspension of all its own train services. The company further announced suspension of most corporate train services it provided, except 6.5 pairs of trains that only runs within Henan Province. Only Jiangan Motive Power Depot, Jiangan Rail Yard, and Wuhanbei Station would be fully in service, while only a small number of people are reserved for other CRW facilities, and all the other employees would be on vacation.[100]
Flight
Tianhe International Airport, Wuhan's only civil airport, stopped anyone from leaving from 13:00 on 23 January. Cathay Dragon, Spring Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and ANA changed or cancelled their scheduled Wuhan-bound flights. On 24 January, the airport was only open to international flights inbound which were required to leave without any passengers. Two cargo planes of SF Express, which carried supplies for epidemic control, were also allowed to land at the airport.[101]
Road and waterway
Shanghai, Sichuan and Jiangsu had cancelled all waterway and road passenger transport services to Wuhan and stopped approval of any chartered coaches to Wuhan,[102] before the Ministry of Transport called off all passenger transport services for Wuhan and asked the transport sectors to refund the affected tickets for free on 23 January.[103][104][105]
Although the announcement of lockdown did not mention whether citizens were allowed to leave Wuhan in their own cars, 30 entries to highways were cut by 14:00.[106] Roadblocks were said to be used in some areas according to BBC.[107] At 23:00, Wuhan CEC decided to stop P2P ridesharing services by 12:00 on 24th and to halve the number of street taxis.[108] Since 26th, private cars were prohibited from driving in downtown Wuhan.[109][110]
Fleeing Wuhan
On the morning of Wuhan's lockdown (23 January), hashtag #逃离武汉, which literally means "fleeing Wuhan", hit the top of Weibo topics.[111][112] People were sharing how they managed to leave the city before the lockdown.[113] Wuhan citizens rushed to railway stations to leave the city before lockdown, leading to long queues.[114] Some said they successfully cheated the temperature check by taking antipyretics, which led to criticism for their lack of social responsibility.[115] Around 30 thousands left the city by train on the day, according to China Railway Wuhan.[111][113]
Zhou Xianwang, Mayor of Wuhan, said that by 23 January, 5 million Wuhan citizens had left the city for the Chinese New Year vacation, while 9 million remained in the city.[116] Data analysis by China Business Network showed that each year, only around half of the residents celebrate the Chinese New Year in the city, while 2/3 of those who leave the city go to other parts of Hubei. The rest leaves for other Chinese provinces and overseas. Henan, Hunan, Anhui are top 3 domestic destinations for them, while Bangkok, Singapore and Tokyo are the top 3 oversea destinations.[117]
Further lockdowns
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Region_of_Hubei_quarantine.png/220px-Region_of_Hubei_quarantine.png)
Soon after Wuhan's lockdown, Huanggang and Ezhou, two Hubei cities bordering Wuhan, followed suit, suspending their public transport systems.[120] By 24th, Huangshi, Chibi, Jingzhou, Yichang, Xiaogan, Jingmen, Zhijiang, Qianjiang, Xiantao, Xianning, Dangyang and Enshi had restricted the inbound and outbound traffic sequently, affecting over 40 million residents.[121] As Xiangyang became the last Hubei city to declare lockdown of city, all Hubei cities had been quarantined by 27th, with local access to road and railway networks temporarily shut down.[23] Forest-covered Shennongjia is the only part of Hubei that has not been locked down.[119]
At least 56 million Hubei residents were isolated. All public places, except hospitals, supermarkets, farmers' market, gas stations and drug stores, were closed, according to Hubei Daily.[122] Starting from 1 February, Hubei city of Huanggang introduced a curfew, which allows only one member of a local family to shop on the streets for every two days, making the city the first to restrict people from going outdoors.[24]
Hubei after lockdown
After lockdown, Wuhan's streets became silent, excepts those around hospitals.[123][124] Witness described that a "once-bustling city became a ghost town overnight". Although grocery stores and shops remained open, most people stayed at home. Food supply is steady despite a shortage in the early stage and the local government promised to provide enough vegetables, rice, and meat.[124] Similar scenes were observed in other Hubei cities after lockdown, including Enshi[125] and Shiyan[126].
Overcrowded hospitals
On the first day of lockdown (23 January), masses of fever patients were queuing outside hospitals, waiting for examinations,[115] while medical workers and hospitals were struggling with the surge of patients.[127] Wuhan MHC admitted they had a shortage of beds and long outpatient queues.[128] Multiple major Hubei hospitals began to request medical supplies, including surgical masks and other protective equipment, via social media almost at the same time when Wang Xiaodong, Governor of Hubei, promised to the people that there would be no shortage of supplies in a press conference after lockdown.[61]
Construction of makeshift hospitals
On the same day, to relieve the shortage, the municipal government invited China Construction Third Engineering Bureau to built a makeshift hospital that resembled Xiaotangshan Hospital in Beijing during 2003 SARS outbreak in Caidian, Wuhan. The hospital was later named Huoshenshan Hospital,[129][130] and was expected to be finished by 3 February.[131] On the afternoon of 25th, Wuhan CEC anounced the building of another makeshift hospital with at least 1,300 beds called Leishenshan Hospital.[132]
Protective gear shortage
On 22 January, Hubei Provincial Government said that as of 31 January, Hubei Province could only produce 8 million medical masks, 2 million protective clothing and 1,200 infrared thermometers, which could not meet the need of the province's epidemic prevention. Hubei Province plans to request support from the Central Government, including 40 million medical masks, 5 million protective clothing, and 5,000 sets of infrared thermometers.[133] On 23 January, Wuhan CEC set up a 24-hour telephone service to receive donation from all sectors of the society.[134]
On January 26, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said at a press conference that Hubei Province needed an estimated 3 million protective clothing a month. The ministry admitted that national production capacity was not meeting demand, and promised that in addition to the central reserve, the state was also seeking to purchase overseas equipment such as protective clothing and face masks.[135][136]
On 2 February, Cao Xuejun, MIIT's deputy director general, said that around 60% of the mask factories had restarted production. They could produce 10 million masks per day. But the director also acknowledged a gap between production capacity and demand of the key medical and protective products, and promised to prioritize Wuhan and Hubei's needs.[137]

Medical teams sent to Hubei
On 24 January, 135 medical workers from Shanghai, 128 from Guangdong were sent to Wuhan to assist local hospitals[138][139] On the evening of that day, 450 medical workers from three military medical universities were deployed to Wuhan on military planes.[140] On 25 January, medical workers from different provinces were sent to Wuhan, including 138 from Sichuan, 135 from Zhejiang, 138 from Shandong, and 147 from Jiangsu.[141][142] NHC also sent experts in intensive medicine to the epidemic areas, and formed 6 medical team with a total of 1,230 members to assist Wuhan, and another 6 teams waiting for request.[143]
Free lodging for medical workers
Wuhan hotels offered to help, as many medical workers had difficulty arriving at their hospitals due to public transport suspension.[144] On 24 January, 85 hotels in Wuhan formed a working group to provide rooms without central air conditioning for medical workers for free.[145] By the noon of 25 January, there had been 120 hotels in the group.[146] Major hoteliers, such as Tujia,[147] Home Inn,[148] Ziroom,[149] Danke,[150] offered free lodging for medical workers in Wuhan. There were also people offering free rides to medical workers.[145]
Daily life
Food supplies

Wuhan's local markets saw spikes in food prices shortly after lockdown. Despite call for price control, Wuhan CEC stated that commodities, food, medical protection equipment were well-stocked and in smooth supply and appeal to the public not to hoard the goods or buy them at exorbitant prices.[151] According to Wuhan CEC, there were 5 million kilograms of finished rice, 4,000 tons of edible oil, 5,500 tons of pork, 2,000 tons of halal beef, 1,500 tons of sugar in Wuhan's market, while the Government also prepared 16.3 million kilograms of finished rice, 8,000 tons of edible oil, arranged 1.55 million kilograms of eggs, 5 million kilograms of vegetables, 1 million kilograms of fresh fish, 200 tons of halal beef and 6,000 head of pork, which would be released orderly through 300 plus supply outlets across the city.[152] After interviewed by the local market regulation administrators, the supermarkets that was reported to have raised food prices normalized the prices.[153]
China Railway Nanchang has been delivering key materials to Wuhan daily since 25 January. The first batch of 160 tons of turnips has been transported to Wuhan through the private compartments of T147 and T168 trains.[154] China Railway Hohhot also said first batch of 30 tons of potatoes were also sent to Wuhan by K598 and K1278 trains on 26 January to support Wuhan Epidemic Prevention and control.[155]
Community services
6,000 taxis were allocated to downtown communities. Since noon of 25 January, they will provide free service for residents under the command of community committees. Each community are expected to have 3-5 taxis under command. The committees are responsible for offering food and medicine for those with inconvenience in the community.[156]
Impact beyond Hubei

President Xi Jinping warned a 'grave situation' facing China[19] and held a Politburo meeting which guaranteed resources and experts for treatment and supplies to Hubei,[157] as more and more cases of the viral infection, mostly exported from Wuhan, became confirmed in other cities in Hubei[13] and multiple parts in Mainland China.[158] On 29 January, Tibet announced its first confirmed case, a male who travelled from Wuhan to Lhasa by rail on 22–24 January,[159] which marked that the virus had been spread to all parts of Mainland China.[13][14][15]
Chinese New Year celebrations were cancelled in many cities. Passengers were checked for their temperatures to see whether they had a fever.[20] Henan, Wuxi, Hefei, Shanghai, Inner Mongolia suspended trade of living poultry on 21 January.[160]
Early responses by Henan
At the end of December 2019, Henan Province announced suspension of passenger trains to and from Wuhan. In early January 2020, the local government of Henan Province, with its complete disinfection measures, effective and intensive publicity, strong awareness of epidemic prevention and quarantine among the people, the setting up of return spots at the village entrance, and even the use of garbage trucks, the digging of trenches to block roads connecting Hubei, and the hanging of slogans such as "return home with sickness is to dishonor your parents." #抄河南的作业 (lit. 'copy Henan's homework') once became the most trending Weibo topic hashtag.[161][162][163]
However, cutting off roads without authorization is illegal in Mainland China, as Xinhua and Public Security Ministry have pointed out.[164][165] The Ministry of Transport asked local governments to take the principle of "one to block and three not to block (Chinese: 一断三不断)", that is, to block the virus from spreading but not to block roads, traffic and Internet access, not to block the transport of emergency supplies, not to block the transport of life necessities.[166]

Safeguarding 2020 Chunyun
China's Chunyun is the largest human migration in the world. It is a 40-day period when people return home to spend the Chinese New Year with their families.[252] In 2020, it started on 10 January and ends on 18 February. Before the coronavirus outbreak, the government estimated 3 billion trips to be made during the period.[253]
On 9 January, a cross-ministry press conference regarding 2020 Chunyun was held. Wan Xiangdong, Chief Pilot of the Civil Aviation Administration, said the agency would keep a close watch on the outbreak and strengthen ties with the health authorities.

Wang Yang, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Transport, said the ministry would carry out disinfection monitoring and protection measures in areas with heavy passenger traffic, including transport hubs, passenger stations and cargo terminal factory stations.[254]
However, on 22 January, as the coronavirus outbreak escalated, Li Bin, deputy president of NHC, warned in a press conference that Chunyun might speed up the transmission of the new virus. Li repeated the government's previous advice to the people, that is, stay away from Wuhan. George F.

Discrimination
Hubei residents
On 27 January, 16 Wuhan tourists had a fight with over 70 Shanghainese who refused to board a China Southern Airlines plane with these Wuhan people in Nagoya, Japan.[309] Two of the Wuhan tourists were unable to board due to a fever, while some Shanghainese on the spot claimed that other others from Wuhan might have taken medicine to cheat the temperature check.[310] One of the Wuhan tourists protested on Weibo, "are they really my countrymen?" which was responded by a Shanghai tourist who wrote on Weibo that what they did were to protect Shanghai from the virus.[311] The event received mixed opinions on the Internet. Some criticized the Wuhan people, "Traveling with a fever? Are they trying to revenge on society?" Some complained that Shanghainese were so biased that they discriminated against people from other parts of China even when they were abroad.[310]
ID numbers, home addresses, and telephone numbers of people from Wuhan were leaked on the Internet deliberately. Calls from strangers kept harassing these Wuhan people. There were places where people hanged up signs saying "people and cars from Wuhan are not welcomed here." [310] Besides, Wuhan people were also rejected by most hotels when they were not home.

We want to safeguard local customers. Please excuse us." It claimed to refuse mainland Chinese customers.[313] In Japan, a sweet shop in Hakone and a ramen restaurant in Sapporo posted "no Chinese" signs outsides.[314] Similar things happen in South Korea.[312] French newspaper Courrier Picard published two articles headlined “Yellow alert” and “New yellow peril?” which may reflect the historical racist tropes about the Chinese. [314] Asians in general are also affected by the anti-China sentiment.Disinformation about Asian food and Asian communities are circulating. Videos showing Asian people eating bats go viral, along with dehumanizing comments and implication of the cause of the virus outbreak.[315]
Criticism
Hubei and Wuhan governments
Zhang Ouya's criticism
On 24th, Zhang Ouya, Chief Journalist of Hubei Daily, called for removal of the current leaders of Hubei and Wuhan on Weibo. But he was asked to remove his post, and the newspaper he worked for apologized to the Wuhan authorities.[12] Mayor Zhou of Wuhan said to state media on 27th, "As a local government, I can not disclose information until I get information and authorization, which was not understood at the time."[316] His argument, which hinted at the Central Government's responsibility[316], was refuted by China CDC. Chief Scientist Zeng Guang said to Chinese tabloid The Global Times that what scientists said was "often only part of their decision-making" and praised the eight whistleblowers who were warned by the Wuhan authorities before the epidemic.[317]
26 January press meeting
Hubei Government's press meeting on 26 January was described as a "scene of a massive car crash" by BBC, which led to widespread dissatisfaction. Despite the compulsory face mask law, Governor Wang Xiaodong did not wear a mask, while the other two official hosts, including Wuhan Mayor Zhou Xianwang and Provincial Party Secretary Bie Bixiong, wore masks incorrectly. The Governor said Xiantao, a Hubei city, was capable to produce 10.8 billion masks annually, after he made two corrections for the number hinted by someone else' notes. The Governor admitted a severe shortage of medical supplies in Hubei, while Mayor Zhou of Wuhan claimed that the shortage had been fully alleviated.[318]
Response to whistleblowers
In the early stage of the coronavirus outbreak, 8 people were summoned by Wuhan police for for their claim there were SARS cases in Wuhan.[12] According to Wang Gaofei, Weibo's CEO, the eight people are all doctors at Wuhan hospitals who "are still fighting at the frontline".[57] The Supreme Court defended these doctors, and pointed out in a WeChat article on 28 January,[57] delay and opacity in public information are the root of fake news and the information that is mostly factual and not subjectively malicious, and causes no objectively severe consequences should be tolerated.[319] On 29 January, the 8 doctors were also praised by Zeng Guang, Chief Scientist at China CDC.[317][320]
Hu Xijin, the editor of nationalist tabloid The Global Times, complained about local governments' low tolerance of different online voices and believed this weakened checks-and-balances of government powers through news media.[12]
Death of Li Wenliang
Li Wenliang, a Wuhan ophthalmologist who is believed to be one of the whistleblower of the coronavirus outbreak. He was warned by Wuhan police after he said that there were Sars cases at Huanan Seafood Market on WeChat. The doctor was later diagnosed of the virus infection and died of it on 7 February. He was said to be dead on the evening of 6 February, before the hospital said he was still under emergency treatment, yet people speculated that Dr Li was actually kept alive, while the authorities were trying to censor the news. After his death, people mourned his death and criticized the government.[321] "We want freedom of speech" and "Wuhan government owes Dr. Li Wenliang an apology" once became a trending topic on Weibo, before the posts about them were deleted by censor.[322]
Science community
Alleged academic misconduct
On 29 January, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a notice, urging scientists "to write their papers on the land of the motherland, to use the results to fight the epidemic" and that scientists should not focus on publishing their papers, until the epidemic prevention and control task is completed.[323] DuoWei News believed this was aimed to respond to the academic conflict between Zhang Yongzhen's group from Fudan University, which published the first genomic sequence of 2019-nCoV, and the Gao Shan group from Nankai University, which published an analysis[324] on the sequence without authorization from Zhang. Before the notice, Nankai and Fudan, two China's top universities had a fight over the alleged academic misconduct related to the analysis published by the Gao Shan group.[325]
Unpublished data in epidemic control
On 30 January, Wang Liming, a neuroscientist from Zhejiang University, showed anger on a Weibo post at George F. Gao's latest NEJM article[326]. Wang believed that the article indicated that China CDC already knew clear evidence of human-to-human transmission in early January and kept it secret until three weeks later. Although the post had soon been deleted, China CDC became under the spotlight. China CDC had to respond the next day that the research was a retrospective analysis of the 425 cases reported to CDC on 23 January.[327] Jennifer Zeis of NEJM's media Relations department told Chinese media The Paper that it only took two days to publish the article, but refused to give further details.[328]
Nature said at least 54 papers about the new coronavirus in China were published during the 20-day period between 10-30 January, which did not include any Chinese language articles.[329] Yet, Zuofeng Zhang, a public health expert from UCLA, questioned why the published data were not used in epidemic control before being published, when interviewed by Mainland China-based magazine Intellectual.[330] Zheng Yongnian, an oversea Chinese political scientist, believed that China needs a movement to promote science and to integrate science into policy making, where Chinese intellectuals should spread more scientific knowledge instead of more political knowledge.[331]
