(b) Should any vessel in the waters of the Colony while being attended by any private medical practitioner be found to have any infectious disease on board, such vessel shall at once be considered as an "infected" ship and come under these Regulations. It shall be the duty of such private medical practitioner to inform the master of the nature of the disease and notify the same in writing to the Health Officer of the Port. All further action as regards the patient, the members of the crew, the passengers or the vessel shall be under the direction of the Health Officer of the Port.
