>>we have some positive lab samples<<

Media reports indicated that so far 10 samples match in 200/200 nucleotides.

I have already heard from a reliable source that the number of nucleotides tested is now considerably more than 200 and 7 samples are exact and one sample is off by one nucleotide.

This is definitely SARS CoV with at least 99.9% homology to known isolates.

My guess is that there also are VERY few mutations.

It did happen and it is the SARS coronavirus that was transmitted.
