Virologist flees Hong Kong and accuses China of coronavirus cover-up

A Chinese doctor specializing in immunology and virology has fled Hong Kong and is telling the world that China attempted to cover up the reality of COVID-19.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan told Fox News in an interview published Thursday that she was one of the first doctors to begin studying the novel coronavirus. She said that she began looking into the illness in late December while working for the Hong Kong School of Public Health.


According to Yan, the Chinese government would not allow outside experts, including those from Hong Kong, to study the virus in person, so she began reaching out to her professional contacts in mainland China for more information about it. On Dec. 31, Yan said a friend told her that researchers were noticing human-to-human transmission. When she reported the findings to her boss, "he just nodded."


Soon, her colleagues were less apt to respond to her inquiries. Both doctors and researchers who were previously discussing the virus openly fell quiet, as did those from Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated. Meanwhile, others received warnings against asking them for details.


Yan claimed she was told by doctors, "We can't talk about it, but we need to wear masks."


When she reported further findings to her boss, Yan said he responded with a warning.


"Don't touch the red line," he said in reference to the Chinese government. "We will get in trouble, and we'll be disappeared."
