Health of the District.
The curve of notifiable disease week by week, opposite
page 30, and the Comparative Table No. 1, with the deathrates,
all show that the March quarter of 1906 is quite a
record one with regard to low mortality and absence of
infectious disease.
Measles.
The London County Council has adopted the undermentioned
regulations for the exclusion from school of
children suffering from measles, or coming from houses
where measles exists:—
"Children suffering from measles must be excluded for
at least one month.
Children coming from houses where measles exists, but
who are not themselves suffering from the disease, should
be dealt with as follows:—
(i.) A child attending other than an infants' school
who has had measles need not be excluded from attendance
at school.
(ii.) A child attending other than an infants' school
who has not had measles must be excluded from
attendance at school until the Monday following the
expiration of 14 days from the occurrence of the first
case.
(iii.) A child attending an infants' school, whether
or not it has had measles, must be excluded from
attendance at school until the Monday following the
expiration of 14 days from the occurrence of the last
case."
This procedure supersedes the existing regulation—
sub-section (v.) of section (c) of Article 111 of the provisional
School Management Code.
