(3) All persons landed in pursuance of this Section shall continue subject to
quarantine until such period as is prescribed, and, while so subject, shall be under
quarantine surveillance, and shall comply with the regulations relating to quarantine
surveillance.
Penalty for non-compliance: One hundred pounds.
(4) All cargo and passengers' effects landed under this Section shall be
subject to treatment and disinfection as described.
Section 35.—(1) A quarantine officer may, by order in writing, order in to
quarantine any vessel, person, or goods (whether subject to quarantine or not),
being, or likely to be, in his opinion, infected with a quarantinable disease, or a
source of infection with a quarantinable disease.
(2) If a vessel has arrived in Australia from a proclaimed place, the quarantine
officer shall (except as prescribed) order her into quarantine.
(3) The order may:—
(a) In the case of any vessel, and all persons and goods on board the vessel
be served on the master of the vessel; or,
(b) In the case of any person, be served on the person ; or
(c) In the case of any goods, be served on the owner or consignee, or any
person having possession or custody of the goods.
(4) When the order has been served in accordance with this Section, the vessel,
and all persons and goods on board the vessel, or the person or goods, as the case
may be, shall be deemed to be ordered into quarantine.
The procedure would therefore be on the arrival of a vessel subject to
quarantine, to order the vessel into quarantine. No persons but those willing to
remain in the State for the full quarantine period are to be allowed to land.
Infected and suspected persons should be removed from vessels as soon as it is
possible.
In the case of Small-pox on a vessel on which vaccination has already been
carried out on board, arrangements must be made without delay for the disinfection
of the persons on board, especially those more directly exposed to infection.
A vaccinated person means: successfully vaccinated with active vaccine over
a total area of not less than one-half of a square inch, which area shall, when
healed, show distinct foveation.
13. Properly vaccinated means: vaccinated not less than 14 days nor more
than 7 years prior to examination.
14. The period during which persons landed in quarantine under the
provisions of section 34, sub-section (1), paragraph (c), or ordered into quarantine
under the provisions of section 35, or during which persons released under
quarantine surveillance under the provisions of sections 34 and 45, sub-section (4)
of the Act, remain subject to quarantine, shall be not less than 18 days, if the
disease in regard to which infection is suspected is Small-pox.
The period of quarantine or quarantine surveillance shall be reckoned from the
last day on which, in the opinion of the quarantine officer, there has been exposure to
infection from a quarantinable disease.
