Routine enquiry as to the health and employment of contacts
is made. During 1937 fourteen cases of exposure to
typhoid fever were reported from Port Medical Officers of
Health. Two cases proved to belong to another district and
were transferred to the care of other Medical Officers of Health.
The other 12 cases were kept under observation by the Public
Health Department for the usual incubation-period time.
The Medical Officer of Health was called in consultation
by the local Medical Profession, on 24 occasions during 1937.
