Quarantine and Prevention of Disease.
Whenever smallpox in epidemic form or plague, cholera, yellow fever or typhus exists in the Colony, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council by notification in the Gazette from time to time to declare that the provisions of regulation 3 shall have effect, and shall continue in force until suspended by the Governor in Council by a subsequent notification in the Gazette.
3. Before the departure from the Colony of all vessels and aircraft, except such vessels or aircraft as the Director of Medical and Health Services may specifically exempt―
(a) the vessel or aircraft, especially the parts liable to contamination shall be thoroughly cleansed;
(b) the passengers and the crew shall be inspected by a health officer and shall produce such evidence of recent vaccination against smallpox or inoculation against cholera or other disease as such officer may require;
(c) any person showing signs of one of the diseases named in regulation 2 and all persons in such close relation to a person known to be infected as to render them liable to transmit the infection of such disease, shall leave the vessel or aircraft at the request of any health officer;
(d) personal effects which are not reasonably clean shall be removed from the vessel or aircraft at the request of any health officer;
(e) any health officer who has reason to suspect the presence of rats on board may require the vessel or aircraft to be deratised, if the restrictions are imposed on account of plague;
(f) if the restrictions are imposed on account of typhus, any health officer may require the persons and effects of any person who after medical inspection, he considers likely to convey infection to be dis-insectised.
4.
The provisions of regulation 3 may be applied in whole or in part, mutatis mutandis, to every means of transportation whereby persons depart from the Colony and the provisions of paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (f) of regulation 3 may be likewise applied to passengers on foot out of the Colony.
