Mainland China
The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak was first
manifested by a cluster of mysterious pneumonia in
Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province in Mainland
China. A Wuhan hospital notified the local center for
disease control and prevention (CDC) and health
commissions on 27 December 2019. On 31 December,
Wuhan CDC admitted there was a cluster of unknown
pneumonia regarding Huanan Seafood Market, after
unverified documents appeared on the Internet. The Coronavirus outbreak in China
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.[14] The sequence of the virus was soon
published on an open-access database.[15] Measures
taken by China were widely praised by many including
the World Health Organization (WHO).[16][17][18]
China's response appeared to be much more
transparent, especially when compared to how the
country responded to SARS in 2003.[17][19]
Coronavirus cases in China
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.[20] By 29

724 had died of the coronavirus infection-associated pneumonia and 34,878 were confirmed to be
infected. In Hubei alone, there were 24,953 cases of infections and 699 related deaths.[24] All
provinces of Mainland China had initiated the highest response level to public health emergency.[25]
WHO declared the outbreak a "public health

emergency of international concern" on 31
January,[23] for fear that the virus spread beyond
China to where there is no robust healthcare system,
despite its confidence in China's efforts.[26]
Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi

Jinping warned of a 'grave situation' facing
China.[27][28] The Party 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.[29] Commands for epidemic control
(CEC) have been formed in different regions including 2019-nCoV cases in mainland China broken
Wuhan and Hubei. Many inter-province bus down by provinces[13]
services[30] and railway services have been
suspended.[31] By 29th, all Hubei cities had been
quarantined.[32] Curfew laws are in practice in Huanggang, Wenzhou[33] and other Mainland
cities.[34] 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.[35]
