When any person is affected with a communicable disease, adequate disinfection shall begin at its onset and continue until its termination. It shall be the duty of the director of public health or his authorized representative to give specific instructions to the person attending a case or suspected case of communicable disease as to methods of disinfecting the discharges and articles used by or on the patient, and it shall be the duty of the person in charge to carry out such instructions. No article shall be removed from quarantined premises without a permit from the director of public health, or his authorized representative.
When the case has terminated, the owner or occupant shall further disinfect, clean or renovate the premises as the director of public health shall require. Any articles which, in the opinion of the director of public health or his representative cannot be properly cleansed or disinfected shall be destroyed. The owner of any premises, apartment or rooms, which have been occupied by a person affected with a communicable disease, shall not rent the same to others or permit occupation by others until the premises have been cleansed to the satisfaction of the director of public health or his representative. (Code 1941, Art. 49-14; Ord. 4404)
