It's much too late to control the spread of SARS. Quarantining this man may slightly delay the spread of the virus into India, but it won't possibly stop it. He probably infected several dozen other people in the course of his travels, and they will be going in all directions before the symptoms manifest themselves.

Only a complete cutoff of travel to China, Hong Kong, and Singapore could have stopped the spread, and evidently that was too drastic a step for health authorities to agree on. Now it's out of the box. Of course all travel to China could never be stopped indefinitely, but it might have allowed another year or so to work on a vaccine. Too late now. At best they can only slow its spread a little.
