The figures in the above table are small but they shew:—
(1). That cases treated at home get better in a shorter
time than cases treated at Hospital.
(2). That the number of times secondary cases occurred
in hospital treated cases was 1 in 5.7, and in home treated
cases 1 in 5.
(3). That no return cases occurred after home isolation.
Return Case. One such case came under notice during the
year. It occurred 20 days after the discharge of the infecting
case from the Isolation Hospital. The infecting case was
apparently well on discharge from Hospital, but developed a sore
on the nose about 12 days after reaching home.
