"Rapid data sharing is the basis for public health action. The report from the 30 January 2020 International Health Regulations Emergency Committee regarding the outbreak of novel coronavirus stressed the importance of the continued sharing of full data with the World Health Organization. The information disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and accompanying online data sets is vital for decision-makers.”
