This should be added: China's National Health Commission (NHC), the nation's top health authority, ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease, and ordered labs to transfer any samples they had to designated testing institutions, or to destroy them. The order did not specify any designated testing institutions.[1]

Then on Jan 3, China's National Health Commission (NHC), the nation's top health authority, ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease, and ordered labs to transfer any samples they had to designated testing institutions, or to destroy them. The order, which Caixin has seen, did not specify any designated testing institutions.

In the 5 January section, please add at least a sentence about WHO's Disease Outbreak News describing the Wuhan cluster to the global media for the first time. WHO's own timeline highlights the publication as follows: "WHO issued its first Disease Outbreak News report. This is a public, web-based platform for the publication of technical information addressed to the scientific and public health communities, as well as global media. The report contained information about the number of cases and their clinical status; details about the Wuhan national authority's response measures; and WHO's risk assessment and advice on public health measures. It advised that 'WHO's recommendations on public health measures and surveillance of influenza and severe acute respiratory infections still apply.' "
For WP:PROPORTION with the rest of our Wikipedia timeline, we should probably just insert a brief summary sentence & reference like the following, at the end of the 5 January section:

There has been some muddling of the initial timeline of the genome release around January 10.
The first posting was to Virological.org, and this is supported by multiple the contemporary references cited in this section for a different statement: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/china-releases-genetic-data-new-coronavirus-now-deadly, https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/thailand-finds-wuhan-novel-coronavirus-traveler-china
An edit in 2021 moved this claim down as it was "unsourced".
This timeline has been source of dispute in recent days: https://www.science.org/content/article/dispute-simmers-over-who-first-shared-sars-cov-2-s-genome
This reference can be removed as it doesn't support any statements here: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/08/health/china-wuhan-pneumonia-virus-intl-hnk/index.html
The only citation that supports "GISAID first" is "BusinessWorld" which is not a source of merit for this topic: https://www.bworldonline.com/health/2021/02/24/346451/no-one-is-safe-unless-everyone-is-safe/
GISAID sequences were posted shortly thereafter, but were not first. DakkonA (talk) 04:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
