(iii) Other persons who disembark shall be kept under observation or surveillance during a period which shall not exceed six days reckoned from the time of disembarkation.

(a) that the vessel or aircraft during its stay in the port of departure was moored at a distance of at least 220 yards from an inhabited shore and at such a distance from other vessels as to make the access of stegomyia improbable; or
