The story below doesn't indicate that the SARS CoV sequence is an artifact. Therefore, lifting the quarantine and allowing visitor with no scientific explanation for 750 nt exact matches with SARS CoV in 7 patients is probably several steps beyond reckless abandon.

It is very disturbing that those in charge don't say that there is a problem with the Winnipeg data. If there is no problem, then ignoring 750 bp of homology with SARS CoV is cause for serious concern.
