The Epoch Times reported on a possible SARS outbreak in Baoding China on 27th Feb, and one of its sources may have been sent to prison.
Reuters reports a man has been sentenced to "labor re-education" for his part in spreading rumors of a SARS outbreak.
Chinese officials maintain the man was working for a website and cooked up the rumor to increase web traffic to his site.
China Daily has also come out with its official response, saying the infections at PLA 252 hospital are not SARS. The rumors began circulating late last week and the man was sentenced by Sunday evening.
