Home Isolation. 12 cases, or 3.6 per cent. of cases, were
isolated at home and in no instance did a return case occur.
Regular inspections were made by the Sanitary Inspectors
in order to ascertain that proper precautions for preventing
the spread of disease were being taken, and in no instance
has there been any ground for supposing that the public
safety is endangered by home isolation in suitable cases.
