Canada OTTAWA CANADA QUARANTINE REGULATIONS BY ORDER IN COUNCIL DATED NINTH MAY, 1923, IN VIRTUE OF CHAPTER 74 REVISED STATUTES, INTITULED; “AN ACT RESPECTING QUARANTINE.” ISSUED BY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, CANADA OTTAWA 825 AT THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE AT OTTAWA Wednesday, the 9th day of May, 1923. PRESENT HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL IN COUNCIL His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Health, and under and by virtue of the provisions of chapter 74 of the Revised Statutes of Canady, 1906, intituled “An Act respecting Quarantine,” is pleased to order as follows:— . t .* The Quarantine Regulations established by the Order in Council of the 12th June, 1907, as amended are hereby rescinded, and the attached regulations are hereby male, established and substituted in lieu thereof. RODOLPHE BOUDREAU, Clerk of the Privy Council. ADMINISTRATION The whole of the Quarantine Service of Canada is controlled by the Minister of Health and is adminis- tered under him by the Department of Health. ORGANIZED QUARANTINE STATIONS AND SUB-STATIONS The organized quarantine stations of Canada are:— Province oj Quebec— Grosse Isle in the River St. Lawrence (with Father Point as the inspecting base); with Quebec and Montreal Harbours as sub-stations. Province of Nova Scotia— (a) Halifax, the Harbour and Lawlor’s Island; (b) Sydney, North Sydney, the Harbour and Point Edward. *(c) Louisburg and the Harbour. Province of New Brunswick—- St. John, the Harbour and Partridge Island. Province of British Columbia— Victoria, the Harbour and William Head; with Vancouver and the Harbour as a sub-station. Each organized quarantine station is in the im- mediate charge of a specially appointed medical quarantine officer. * P.C. 1089. 1923, 4 A sub-station is a port of final destination where vessels, Avhcn empty, can, with greater facility, be fumigated or disinfested, and where other functions may, when required, be performed, as directed by the Minister. Each sub-station is in the immediate charge of the chief or senior immigration medical officer, ex officio, except when otherwise provided by the Minister. UNORGANIZED QUARANTINE STATIONS Every maritime port in Canada, other than those mentioned above, is designated an unorganized mari- time quarantine station. Every inland port on the Canadian frontier is designated an unorganized inland quarantine station. At each unorganized maritime or inland quaran- tine station, the local collector or sub-collector of Customs is, ex officio, the quarantine officer for the purposes of these Regulations. The Governor in Council may, however, from time to time when circumstances warrant it, appoint a temporary medical quarantine officer at any unor- ganized maritime or inland quarantine station, who shall supersede for the time being the collector of Customs as the quarantine officer of the port. 5 QUARANTINABLE DISEASES 1. For the purpose of these Regulations, the quar- antinable diseases are:— (a) Cholera (Asiatic). (b) Plague. (c) Smallpox. (d) Typhus Fever. (e) Yellow Fever. 2. Persons sick with other infectious or contagious diseases such as chickenpox, diptheria, enteric fever, erysipelas, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, etc., shall be taken care of at quarantine stations only in case proper facilities do not exist for their treatment at the port where such cases are to be landed. Other Contagious or Infectious Diseases 3. It is the duty of every quarantine officer to satisfy himself by the presence or absence of obvious signs, whether or not leprosy exists among the pas- sengers or crew. In the event of any case of such disease being found, the person affected shall not be allowed to enter Canada, but shall be detained at Quarantine at the vessel's expense until taken aboard by the same vessel when next outward, unless satis- factory reasons be given for further delay. In the event of the vessel failing to take back the said leper, he or she shall be deported by the Government at the expense of the owners of the vessel. Leprosy 61808—2 6 GENERAL PROVISIONS Quarantine Grounds and Wharves 4. All quarantine station grounds or wharves shall be reserved for quarantine purposes only, and no one shall use same for any other purpose except with the permission of the Quarantine officer in charge of such Station approved by the Department of Health. (a) Any case of trespassing upon the said grounds or wharves shall be reported immediately by the quarantine officer in charge, with full particulars, to the Department of Health, who will take whatever action is deemed necessary. (See Sec. 64 for penalty.) Quarantine Officers Justices of the Peace 5. Every quarantine officer at a quarantine station in Canada, and every Customs collector in his quality of quarantine officer, shall, for the purpose of these Regulations, be a Justice of the Peace in virtue of the provisions of See. 7 of the Act respecting Quaran- tine, Chap. 74, Revised Statutes. Persons entering Canada 6. Every person entering Canada, whether through a Customs port or otherwise, shall be held to be sub- ject to these Regulations. 7. Passengers for the purpose of these Regulations are divided into two classes, cabin and steerage. Steerage passengers are those occupying compart- ments other than those of first and second cabin. Classes of Passengers 7 Vessels from Outside of Canada 8. Every vessel arriving from any port outside of Canada at any organized quarantine station shall be inspected by a duly appointed quarantine officer at the place duly appointed for such inspection, and shall not be allowed to make Customs entry at any port in Canada until it has received a clean bill of health from such officer at such place. (a) If a vessel from an infected foreign port bound for a port in Canada which is an unorganized quaran- tine station, has first to pass an organized quarantine station, it is required to call at such station before proceeding to its destination. (b) Within the meaning of these Regulations an infected port or country is a port or country where any one of the quarantinable diseases designated in Section 1 exists as an epidemic, i.e., has occurred out- side the immediate surroundings of the initial case or cases, thereby indicating that the spread of the disease has not been limited to the port where it made its first appearance. A port or country is not considered infected where the area of infection is limited to the initial case or cases. Definition of Infected Port Breach of Regulations by Vessels Unlawful (c) It shall be unlawful for any merchant ship or other vessel from any foreign or overseas port or place to enter any port in Canada except in accord- ance with these Regulations; and any such vessel 61808—2J 8 which shall enter or attempt to enter in violation thereof shall be subject to the penalty hereinafter prescribed, and shall, moreover, be compelled to return to the nearest quarantine station and obtain a proper pratique. Port Bills of Health (d) Every vessel at any foreign or overseas port clearing for any port in Canada, except as provided in Section 9, shall be required to obtain from the proper authorities at the port of departure and at each intermediate port of call a bill of health en- dorsed by the British Consul in every case where such official exists, or, failing this, endorsed by the official health authority for the port, setting forth the health conditions at such port, also the number of persons on board such vessel at the time of sailing from said port of departure or port of call as the case may be, and including thereon a return showing the number of quarantinable diseases existing at each port according to the last report from the local health officials. Ships* Masters to notify Quarantine Officers by wireless (e) The master of each passenger vessel shall notify the quarantine officer by wireless at least 12 hours previous to arrival at quarantine of the state of health of all on board, stating disease if any, also his expected time of arrival. Should disease break out subsequent to this notification, and before the 9 vessel reaches the quarantine station, a further noti- fication shall be sent covering the situation. (/) Every vessel arriving at a quarantine station not having a port convenient to the level of the quarantine boat, shall have its accommodation lad- der, or in lieu thereof a suitable gangway rigged for the use of the quarantine officer. Moreover, the vessel to be cleared shall be required to give the boarding officer and his boat a proper shelter or lee in stormy weather while he is boarding and leaving. In case these conditions are not fulfilled, the vessel may be detained until the boarding officer is satis- fied. Quarantine Officer to be given Ease of Access to Vessel Exemption of Coastwise Vessels 9. Vessels enumerated below, except when coming from an infected port and provided they are free from disease, shall be regarded as coastwise vessels and as such excepted from these Regulations:— (a) Vessels from Newfoundland; except that ves- sels from foreign or overseas ports touching at New- foundland on their way to a Canadian port will not be considered coastwise vessels under this Regula- tion. (b) Vessels from New York and ports in the United States north thereof. (c) Vessels from San Francisco and ports in the United States north thereof. 10 Coastwise after Clearance 10. After having made Customs entry at any port in Canada a vessel, if she proceed to any other port in Canada without first again going abroad, shall be regarded as a coastwise vessel and so not subject to these Regulations provided that in the meantime no disease has developed among the personnel on board, in which case the vessel shall stop at a quarantine station for inspection and pratique, if there be such station between first port of entry and final port. H.M. Ships of War 11. His Majesty’s Ships of War and transports having medical officers on board, arriving at any port in Canada in a healthy condition are excepted from quarantine inspection and detention; but in the event of the presence on board any such ves- sel of any quarantinable disease designated in Sec- tion 1, these Regulations shall apply as in the case of other vessels arriving from outside of Canada. Pilots 12. It shall be the duty of every pilot on boarding a vessel arriving at any port in Canada to satisfy himself that the master of such vessel has a copy of these Regulations on board. Failing that, he is to furnish said master with a copy of said Regula- tions, subject to the penalty hereinafter prescribed. 13. Every vessel, subject to the exceptions set out in Sections 9, 10 and 11, bound for any port in Can- Quarantine Signals at Organized Stations 11 ada where exists an organized quarantine station shall, on approaching such station display a yellow flag at the fore by day, and by night a red light at the fore (or where it may be seen easily) as a dis- tinctive quarantine signal. Such flag or light shall not be removed until such vessel has been visited and released by the quarantine officer. (a) No such vessel shall proceed past an organ- ized quarantine station prior to having been visited and released by the quarantine officer, subject to the penalty hereinafter prescribed. Quarantine Signals at Unorganized Stations (6) In the case of unorganized stations the re- quirements of this section regarding quarantine sig- nals shall only be carried out when the master of a vessel has sickness on board which he suspects may be of a quarantinable or other infectious nature. If such suspicions are shared by the Collector of Customs, in his capacity of quarantine officer, the latter will call in a medical officer as required under Section 49. 14. Every vessel shall be inspected as soon a3 practicable after arrival and in order of arrival; ex- cept in such instances as the Minister may direct. Hours of Inspection (a) When a vessel with a number of cases of in- fectious disease on board arrives at a quarantine sta- tion after sunset (which for the purpose of these Re- Inspection may be Permitted by Daylight only 12 gulations shall not be earlier than 6 p.m.) said vessel shall not be given her clearance until after inspec- tion of her personnel by daylight, which for board- ing purposes shall not be earlier than 6 a.m. Q.O. to Satisfy Himself as to Health of Vessel 15. Every quarantine officer shall satisfy himself as to the presence or absence of infectious disease by personal inspection of those on board or by the sworn statement of the captain or surgeon, in the form hereto appended, or by both. Persons Liable to Detention 16. Every person who shall be on board any ves- sel arriving from any port outside Canada at any organized quarantine station or who shall have gone on board any vessel after such arrival and before such vessel has been inspected by a duly appointed quarantine officer, shall be liable to the provisions of Sections 17 and 21, and no such person shall leave such vessel without the permission of such officer until such vessel shall have been declared by such officer free from infectious disease. Any person vio- lating this Regulation shall be liable to the penalty hereinafter prescribed. (a) The word “ person ” in this section and in Sections 17 and 21 shall be deemed to cover every person going on board such vessel before clearance has been granted by the quarantine officer, inelud- Customs and Revenue Officers 13 ing Customs and Revenue officers or other servants of the Crown. 17. Every vessel with quarantinable or other in- fectious disease on board, or coming from an in- fected port or country, shall be liable to be detained at a quarantine station during the time necessary for its disinfection or disinfestation, including lug- gage and cargo, in whole or in part, as the quaran- tine officer may deem necessary, after which the ves- sel shall be permitted to proceed. Detention of Vessels for Disinfection (a) Every person on board such vessel who in the judgment of the quarantine officer has been exposed to infection shall be detained at the quaran- tine station for the recognized period of incubation of the disease quarantined against, from the ascer- tained date of the last possible exposure. In the case of the quarantinable diseases the recognized periods of incubation are as follows:— Period of Detention of Personnel Cholera 5 days. Plague 7 days. Smallpox 14 days. Typhus Fever 12 days. Yellow Fever 6 days. Ships whose Final Destination is a Foreign Port 18. When any vessel calls at any port in Canada with quarantinable disease on board, but whose final 61808—3 14 destination is a foreign port, such vessel will be permitted to land its Canada-bound passengers sub- ject to these Regulations, and be permitted to put to sea again. In this event, the quarantine officer shall return the bill of health after having men- tioned thereon the length and circumstances of the detention and the condition of the said vessel on her putting to sea. If, among the passengers or crew remaining on board such vessel, there exists con- tagious or infectious disease, the quarantine medical officer shall, before granting such permission, first satisfy himself that such sick case or cases will be properly taken care of during the remainder of the voyage. Isolation on Board 19. Every case of quarantinable or other infec- tious disease occurring during the voyage shall be isolated immediately the disease is discovered. (a) Ships’ isolation hospitals must not be used as living quarters for any of the personnel of the ship during the voyage, as the specific object for which said hospital quarters have been provided might thereby be defeated. Ships’ Isolation Hospitals 20. Any vessel detained by order of the quaran- tine officer shall forthwith be anchored or moored in such position as the quarantine officer shall direct, and its passengers, crew, pilot, etc., shall be retained Moving of Vessels, &c. 15 on board or landed at quarantine as the quarantine officer shall direct. 21. And whilst such ship is so detained, no person shall leave the same, nor shall communication be allowed with such vessel, without permission from the quarantine officer, subject to the penalty here- inafter provided. No Person to Leave Quarantine Officer to notify Minister 22. The quarantine officer detaining any ship as aforesaid, shall immediately notify the Minister of Health, stating the cause of such detention. 23. In the case of a vessel arriving by the St. Lawrence, clearance certificate shall be from a quar- antine officer at Father Point (or at any other port designated by the Minister), provided there is no quarantinable disease on board. (a) In the event of his finding a quarantinable disease on board, the quarantine officer at Father Point (or at any other port designated by the Minister), shall withhold the final clearance for Cus- toms entry which shall only be given to the vessel when she has been released after landing patients and contacts at Grosse Isle. (b) Passengers having authorization from an im- migration officer to land at Father Point (or at any other port on the St. Lawrence designated by the Minister) may be allowed to do so by the quar- Vessels Arriving by the St. Lawrence 61808—3* 16 antine officer if from a healthy ship; or from a ship having infectious disease on board if in his opinion such passengers have not been exposed to infection. (c) During a time of epidemic prevalence of one of the quarantinable diseases, the permission to a steamer from an infected port or country to land passengers at Father Point (or at any other port designated by the Minister) may be suspended by direction of the Minister. (d) The quarantine officer at Father Point (or at any other port designated by the Minister) shall telegraph a statement of action taken and the disease for which full clearance is withheld to the quarantine officer at Grosse Isle. Vessels at Halifax, N.S. Proceeding to St. John, N.B., and vice versa 24. With regard to vessels touching at Halifax, N.S., on their way to St. John, N.B., when after inspection the quarantine officer at Halifax finds such a vessel healthy, he shall give a full Customs clearance which shall be valid at the port of St. John, N.B., and the vessel shall then proceed there coastwise. (a) In the event of his finding a quarantinable disease on board such vessel, the quarantine officer at Halifax shall withhold the final clearance for Cus- toms entry, which shall only be given to the vessel when she has been released after quarantine inspec- tion at St. John, N.B. 17 (b) When, however, in the judgment of the quar- antine officer at Halifax mails and persons and their effects may be permitted to land at Halifax from such a vessel, a partial clearance shall be given by the quarantine officer at Halifax covering only the mails and the persons allowed to land there with their effects. (Vide Form No. 5 appended here- to.) (c) The quarantine officer shall telegraph a state- ment of action taken and the disease for which the full clearance is withheld to the quarantine officer at the port of St. John, N.B. (d) The provisions of this Regulation apply equally in the case of vessels touching at St. John, N.B., on their way to Halifax, N.S. Steam Tugs 25. Any steam tug or other vessel which shall have towed or otherwise communicated with any vessel of the class of vessels subject to quarantine or quarantine inspection, except when such com- munication is confined to attachment of a rope, afterwards loosed, shall thereby be held to the same regulations and requirements as apply to the vessel communicated with. 26. Rags coming from a port or country which is known to be infected may be prohibited. Bags from Infected Ports 18 (a) Should rags be reported on board vessels from such prohibited ports, they shall be landed at the quarantine station to be burnt or otherwise treated. New merchandise 27. New merchandise in general may be accepted without question. REGULATIONS GOVERNING SPECIFIC QUARANTINABLE DISEASES SMALLPOX Vaccination of Steerage Passengers. Alternative—Detention at Quarantine Station 28. Every steerage passenger, no nationality ex- cepted, who cannot show satisfactory evidence of successful vaccination or of having had smallpox shall either (a) be vaccinated before embarking or by the ship’s surgeon during the voyage; or on refusal (b) be detained at the quarantine station during the period of smallpox incubation, fourteen days. If no smallpox has occurred on board, this period shall date from the time of embarkation. Ship’s Surgeon to Make Examination (a) The ship’s surgeon shall make examination of each steerage passenger as to his or her vaccinal pro- tection as soon as possible after the vessel leaves the port of departure (advisedly within the first two or three days) and shall endorse the result of such 19 examination on the passenger’s steamship ticket as follows:— (1) “Protected by previous vaccination or small- pox ”, (2) “ Vaccinated on board ”, (3) “ Refused vaccination ”. Endorsement on Passengers’ Tickets (b) The production of an endorsement on the passenger’s ticket, signed by the ship’s surgeon, to the effect that said passenger has been vaccinated on board, and the ship’s surgeon’s testimony under oath verifying the truth of such endorsement, may be taken by the quarantine officer as evidence of such vaccination and protection. Such quarantine officer is required, however, from time to time to make personal examination of such passengers in order to satisfy himself as to the honesty and success or otherwise of such vaccinations. Vessels having Smallpox on Board or coming from Small- pox-Infected Port 29. In the event of smallpox having occurred on any vessel during her voyage to Canada, or of the arrival of any vessel at a Canadian port from any port known to be infected with smallpox, every per- son on board not showing satisfactory evidence of having been vaccinated within one year, or of hav- ing had smallpox, is required to be vaccinated by the ship’s surgeon during the voyage, or in lieu there- of by the quarantine officer on arrival. Persons 20 so vaccinated shall be detained at the quarantine station under observation, and shall be released as soon as evidence of successful vaccination or im- munity reaction is apparent to the quarantine officer. Passengers who Refuse Vaccination (a) Every person who is found to require vaccina- tion under the above Regulation and who refuses to submit to it shall be landed at the quarantine station subject to detention as set out in subsection (b) below. Period of Detention for Persons Refusing Vaccination (£>) In the case of a vessel coming from a smallpox infected port, the period of detention of those persons who refuse vaccination shall be fourteen days dating from time of embarkation, such being taken as the ordinary period of incubation. In the case of a vessel in which smallpox has occurred during the voyage, the fourteen-day period of detention of such persons shall date from their being landed at quar- antine. Treatment of Smallpox Cases 30. In the case of a vessel arriving with smallpox on board, the patient shall be removed to the quar- antine hospital, together with his personal effects. All those considered as having been exposed to infec- tion shall be landed and they and their baggage dis- infected. The portions of the vessel that are con- sidered by the quarantine officer as infected shall then be disinfected, after which the vessel and all 21 personnel other than those hereinbefore mentioned shall be allowed to proceed. CHOLERA (ASIATIC) 31. On vessels arriving from ports or places where cholera prevails, all steerage passengers may be sub- jected to bacteriological examination for a period not exceeding five days and shall not be allowed to pass quarantine until such period has expired unless in the meantime they have been demonstrated free from cholera vibrio. Vessels from Cholera-Infected Ports Cases presenting Clinical Symptoms (a) Cases presenting clinical symptoms of cholera but in which no cholera vibrio are found, will be sub- ject to all the measures required in the case of cholera. Vessels having Cholera on Board (6) On vessels arriving upon which cholera has occurred during the voyage or is actually present, the patients shall be removed to the quarantine hospital. (c) All persons on board shall be landed and de- tained under observation for a period of five days from the time of possible infection, unless they have been proved by bacteriological examination on three consecutive days after removal from possible infection to be free from cholera vibrio, in which case they may be allowed to proceed without further deten- tion. 61808-4 22 (d) In landing personal effects and stores from ship for detained passengers and crews, care must be taken that such articles shall not contain anything capable of conveying infection, such as private food supplies. These must be destroyed. (e) In treating the vessel itself the water supplies shall be examined for the presence of cholera vibrio or bacillus coli, and unless free from same the tanks shall be pumped out, disinfected, and thoroughly cleansed. (/) All portions of vessel contaminated by excreta from a cholera case or carrier or by those suspected of being infected shall be flushed with a solution of acid carbolic or bichloride of mercury. (g) All contaminated bedding, carpets, etc., shall be steam disinfected if possible; if not, soaked in one of above solutions, or burnt. (h) Cholera carriers or convalescents shall not be released until bacteriological examinations on three consecutive days have been negative. Vessels from Plague-Infected Ports PLAGUE 32. Vessels coming from a plague-infected port shall produce evidence that every precaution has been taken to prevent rats from getting aboard by the use of moor- ing line guards, breasting out from wharf, guarding gangways when in use and removing same at night, inspection of cargo that might harbour rats, etc. 23 Vessels sailing from a plague-infected port should be fumigated for destruction of rats, preferably when empty. (a) Vessels arriving on which plague has occurred during the voyage or is present on arrival shall be detained in quarantine. The sick shall be landed and placed in hospital. The vessel shall be disin- fected and fumigated in all parts for destruction of rats, and when the quarantine officer shall be satis- fied that the vessel is rat free, the vessel and all personnel except the sick shall be allowed to proceed. Vessels having Plague on Board Vessels having Pneumonic Plague on Board PNEUMONIC PLAGUE 33. In the case, however, of pneumonic plague having occurred on a vessel, the sick shall be landed and hospitalized, and all the personnel of the vessel whom the quarantine officer may consider to have been exposed to infection shall be landed and de- tained under observation for the recognized period of incubation of the disease, viz., seven days, and the personal effects and belongings of those detained shall be disinfected and freed from vermin. The vessel shall be fumigated for the destruction of rats and the quarantine officer shall satisfy him- self that the vessel is rat free before he releases her. If the vessel is loaded and the quarantine officer considers it necessary, he may require the master to discharge part of the cargo to insure thorough fumi- 61808—4i 24 gation and special precautions must be taken while this is being done. TYPHUS FEVER Vessels from Typhus-Infected Ports 34. In the case of vessels from ports infected with typhus, the personnel shall be examined for vermin and those not definitely free from same shall be landed with their personal effects and baggage. These vermin-infested persons shall be treated for destruc- tion of lice and their baggage, etc., disinfected. Vessels having Typhus on Board (a) Vessels at quarantine on which typhus fever has occurred shall be detained. The sick and their baggage shall be landed and hospitalized. All those not demonstrably free shall be landed at quarantine with their baggage. They shall be treated for destruc- tion of vermin, and their baggage disinfected. They shall be detained for quarantine and observation for a period of twelve days. The vessel shall be fumigated for destruction of vermin. It shall not be considered necessary to dis- infect cargo compartments unless there be some special reason for doing so. All those on board who are vermin-free and who have not been exposed to infection shall be allowed to proceed with the vessel without any disinfection. 25 YELLOW FEVER Preventive Measures at Infected Ports 35. Special preventive measures shall be taken by masters of vessels at ports which have been declared infected or where yellow fever is present. These refer to the protection of water tanks and water vessels so that they may not become breeding places for mosquitoes; to the anchoring of the vessel at a safe distance from the shore so as to be inaccessible to the stegomyia mosquitoes; to the fumigation of the vessel immediately before sailing, and to not allowing any of the personnel of the vessel ashore nor the embarkation of passengers or crew who may have been definitely exposed to yellow fever. Vessels from Yellow Fever-Infected Ports (а) A vessel from a port infected with yellow fever that has not used the above preventive measures, or that moored in such proximity to the shore as to render it liable to the access of stegomyia mosquitoes, shall be fumigated and the personnel held for quarantine and observation for six days. (б) A vessel arriving from ports infected with yellow fever with no history of any case of yellow fever aboard during voyage and that has used these special measures shall, if arriving in less than six days, be fumigated and held with her personnel to complete the six days. If arriving after six days, vessel shall be fumigated and allowed to proceed. 26 Vessels having Yellow Fever on Board (c) Vessels aboard which a case of yellow fever has occurred at any time during the voyage shall be detained and the sick immediately disembarked, pro- tected from mosquitoes by netting, and hospitalized. The vessel shall be anchored at least one-eighth of a mile from wharf or shore. Other personnel shall be disembarked and detained under observation for the full period of incubation. Inspection of all de- tained persons shall be twice daily both visually and by using the thermometer. All detained persons with a temperature of 99-5° or more shall be isolated in a screened room until diagnosis is complete. The vessel shall be fumigated for the destruction of mosquitoes before discharging cargo; fumigation to be by sulphur dioxide gas 2 per cent volume two hours exposure or by cyanide gas of one-half ounce per 1,000 cubic feet, one-half hour exposure. DISINFECTANTS AND FUMIGANTS Disinfecting Agents 36. Disinfection shall be carried out by one or more of the following means:— Physical Agents—Burning, boiling, steam; Chemical Solutions—Bichloride of mercury, car- bolic acid, formalin; Gaseous Agents—Sulphur dioxide, formaldehyde gas, hydrocyanic-acid gas. 27 Physical Agents Burning—Thoroughly efficient, but seldom neces- sary, as practically everything can be disinfected by less destructive means. Boiling—Articles to be wholly immersed in water actually boiling (100° C., 212° Fahr.) for not less than thirty minutes. Steam under pressure with vacuum—This method may be used in special chambers for the disinfection of all clothing and effects that will not be injured thereby; exposure to be for not less than 20 minutes, at a temperature of not less than 100° C., 212° Fahr., or greater than 115° C., 239° Fahr., with a pressure of 10 pounds to the square inch. Flowing steam—This method may be used for dis- infecting purposes where the special chambers do not exist for using steam under pressure with vacuum. The exposure must be for 30 minutes after the tem- perature has reached 100° C. Articles injured by steam, such as leather, furs, skins, rubber, trunks, valises, hats and caps, boots and shoes, bound books, silks, fine woollens, and glued articles should not be disinfected by steam. For such articles washing with a disinfecting solu- tion of mercuric bichloride, carbolic acid or formalin should be used. And for those which would be in- jured by wetting, disinfection by a gaseous agent— formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, or hydrocyanic-acid gas. 28 Chemical Solutions Bichloride of mercury—This disinfectant is used in solutions not weaker than 1 to 1,000 of water. Its solubility is increased by using salt water, or by adding 2 parts per 1,000 of sodium or ammonium chloride. It is of use for the spraying, washing, and drenching of free surfaces, alleyways, walls, floors, etc., where steam or gaseous disinfection cannot be used. It injuriously affects polished metals. It can- not be depended upon to penetrate substances in the presence of albuminous matter, dejecta, sputa, etc. These are best disinfected by burning. Carbolic Acid—In solution of 5 per cent this may be used instead of the mercuric bichloride solution for the disinfection of ships’ cabins, etc., as it has no injurious action on polished metals, etc. Formalin (a 40 per cent aqueous solution of form- aldehyde gas)—This in 5 per cent solution may also be used as a substitute for the mercuric bichloride solution or carbolic acid, and is useful for the disin- fection of surfaces, dejecta, fabrics, and a great variety of objects, owing to its non-injurious char- acter. Gaseous Agents Sulphur Dioxide—Fumigation by sulphur dioxide is specially applicable to holds, steerages, and other compartments too large for steam or formaldehyde, and which do not contain objects injured by it. It bleaches fabrics or materials dyed with vegetable or 29 aniline dyes. It injures linen or cotton goods by rot- ting the fibre through the agency of the acids formed. It injures most metals. It is promptly destructive to all forms of animal life, and is, therefore, specially valuable for the destruction of rats and other disease- carrying vermin. The time of exposure should be not less than 12 hours. Sulphur Dioxide Gas may be generated: (a) By burning three to five pounds of finely broken rolled sulphur per 1,000 cubic feet of space in the presence of sufficient moisture. The sulphur, finely divided, may be burned in iron pots standing in vessels of water. Ignition is best accomplished by alcohol, special care to be taken to prevent damage by fire. (6) Or liquified sulphur dioxide may be used, this method requiring six pounds of liquified gas for each 1,000 cubic feet of space. (c) Or the sulphur may be burned in a special furnace and the sulphur dioxide blown in by a power fan. Formaldehyde—This gas may be used for the dis- infection of such ships’ cabins and saloons as would be injured by steam; also for clothing, textiles and luggage. It does not injure fabrics or most colours. It cannot, however, be depended upon to kill rats or other disease-carrying vermin. Where desired the smell of formaldehyde may be subsequently neutralized by the use of ammonia in liquid or gaseous form. 30 Formaldehyde gas may be evolved by any of the three following methods:— (a) The free sprinkling or spraying of formalin (40 per cent solution of formaldehyde) on sheets sus- pended in small closed compartments, 10 ounces per 1,000 cubic feet. One sheet will hold about 5 ounces without dripping. Temperature of room should be at least 75° Fahr. and the room should be tightly closed for 12 hours. (b) The formalin-permanganate method—Eight ounces of potassium permanganate, powdered or in fine needles, and one pint of formalin for each 1,000 cubic feet of room space to be disinfected. The per- manganate must be put in before the formaldehyde solution. The vessel in which the mixture is made should be of considerable size else the vigorous foam- ing will overflow. A flaring 10-quart tin pail may be used, or if a wide-bottom vessel be used, it need not be high. If the bottom of the dish be so wide that the requisite amount of permanganate just conceals it and the sides be eight inches high, there will be no overflow from foaming or spattering. The room in this method should be closed up tightly for six hours. (c) With dry heat from the jacket and partial vacuum where formaldehyde appliances are attached to the chambers for steam disinfection, one hour’s exposure. This method has great penetrating power, and is specially applicable to clothing, luggage, etc., that cannot be steamed. 31 Hydrocyanic-acid gas—This gas is the most pene- trating and toxic of all fumigants. It is generated by the mixture of water, sulphuric acid and sodium cyanide in the following proportions:— With each ounce of sodium cyanide H ounces of commercial sulphuric acid 66B and 2 fluid ounces of water shall be used. All ingredients shall be weighed and mixed immediately prior to each fumi- gation. The strength of cyanide gas and the duration of exposure vary according to the object sought. The following instructions to be followed are based on the service standards of the United States Public Health Service:— (a) For destruction of rats and mice—5 ounces of sodium cyanide per thousand cubic feet of space, exposure for two hours. (b) For destruction of lice—10 ounces of sodium cyanide per thousand cubic feet of space, exposure for two hours. The standards above set out apply to empty holds and superstructures, except storerooms that have a large quanity of stores. In cargo-laden holds or in well-packed storerooms, the length of exposure should be doubled. All apartments to be fumigated shall be tightly sealed. FUMIGATION OF VESSELS Deratization fumigation at least every six months 37. All vessels other than coastwise vessels as set out in Section 9 of these Regulations shall be fumi- 32 gated for deratization at least once every six months, or oftener when epidemic conditions prevailing at port of departure may call for it. Fumigation certificate to be produced (a) The production by the master of a vessel of a fumigation certificate signed by an accredited medi- cal officer of the port where the vessel was last fumigated shall be the evidence accepted by the quarantine officer in connection with the enforce- ment of this section. DISINFECTION AND FUMIGATION—GENERAL 38. For computing air space in holds of a vessel, a registered ton is equivalent to ;100 cubic feet. The cubic capacity of crews’ apartments, cabins, etc., will have to be computed separately. In the fumigation of vessels, each case has to be consid- ered on its requirements, but the following general rules will apply to nearly all cases:— (a) All dead spaces and any planked over space between the outer and inner sheeting of vessel should be opened up. All dunnage and loose material in holds of vessel should be collected on a raised plat- form. If sulphur dioxide is generated in a furnace it should be introduced at as low a point as possible. Pipe casing should be opened up, and from one end of the vessel to the other, there should be a certain number of limber boards removed so as to permit of penetration of gas into the bilges. Life boats should be filled with water. 33 Disinfection of the mails (b) Letters and correspondence, printed matter, books, newspapers, business documents, etc., shall not be subject to disinfection or to any restriction. Parcels conveyed by post shall be subject to restriction only if there is reason to believe their contents include articles in regard to which disinfection may be re- quired under these Regulations. (c) Textiles which are soiled with discharges of the sick or are in any way presumably deeply infected must be disinfected by steam, or by boiling, or by steeping in one of the disinfecting solutions re- ferred to herein. Soiled Textiles (d) Cooking and eating utensils are to be disin- fected by immersing in boiling water or by steam. Utensils Bilges (e) In generally infected vessels, the bilges should be flushed out with sea or river water and then treated with one of the disinfecting solutions in large quantity. 39. Passengers during a period of the prevalence in epidemic form of any of the quarantinable dis- eases should be notified by steamship agents to dis- pense as far as possible with luggage that may be injured by wetting, in case of having to undergo Advice to Passengers disinfection—such as fabrics of which the dyes are likely to run,—as the owners will be compelled to assume all risks of injury. 34 40.
