History

pneumonia cluster of unknown cause

was observed on 26 December and

treated by the doctor Zhang Jixian in Hubei

Provincial Hospital, who informed the

Wuhan Jianghan CDC on 27 December. On

30 December, a group of doctors at Wuhan

Central Hospital alerted their colleagues of

a "SARS-like coronavirus". The Wuhan

Municipal Health Commission released a

public notice on 31 December. Eight of

these doctors, including Li Wenliang, were

then admonished by the police for

spreading supposedly false rumours, and

another, Ai Fen, was reprimanded by her

superiors for raising the alarm. Enough cases

of unknown pneumonia had been reported

to health authorities in Wuhan to

trigger an investigation in early January.
