Renowned Chinese human rights attorney Xie Yanyi wrote to China’s National Health Commission on Jan. 20 demanding that it and the Wuhan City Health Commission publicize key information regarding the new coronavirus that is spreading across the country.
Xie told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that before the authorities announced new cases on Jan. 20, citizens did not know what was happening in Wuhan, while Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea had long started screening passengers from the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak originated.
