Exclusion Notices. In connection with the notifiable infectious
diseases, viz., diphtheria, scarlet and enteric fevers, 1,500 notices were issued
excluding contacts from attendance for definite periods. Notices were issued
in 1912-11-10 to the number of 621, 396 and 778, respectively. These notices
are now made out for the individual children, patients, and contacts, as they
are for non-notifiable diseases, and not for infected houses.
On account of the non-notifiable infectious diseases, notices excluding 1,941
children as patients or contacts were issued by me, after enquiries had been as
to the real nature of the illness. The numbers excluded in 1912-11-10 were
1,684, 1,748 and 1,929 respectively.
