This article’s credibility is highly suspect. The source of this article appears to be unidentified “media reports”, so where are the media reports?

The names of the alleged “patient zero”, Wei Guixian, is followed by “as identified by The Wall Street Journal”, so I searched for “Wei Guixian site:wsj.com”, and the only result was a March 6 article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-it-all-started-chinas-early... which, not surprisingly, is paywalled. So what has changed since March 6 that warrants this news article? The article doesn’t seem to point to any new research.
