I read UK news, which has more coverages on China than North America news. It's so much easier to find this info in January, but here's from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E...mainland_China You can see the reported timeline, the Central Government wasn't notified until Dec. 31 or early January.

Another article on CBC that suggested it's the local government fault: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/china...aims-1.5471946

Another article that showed anger was geared towards local government, and the local officials were sacked: https://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...0c664d064c5649

Again, I don't think we will ever know the full truth.

China Central Government rules with an iron fist; but China is so vast that enforcing them is not always easy.
