Whenever there is a case of tuberculosis, it shall be the duty of the director of public health or his representative to take such proper precautions as he may deem necessary, and to give proper instructions to the patient and all other persons occupying the same premises to prevent the spread of the disease. Every person affected with tuberculosis shall dispose of his sputum, saliva or other discharges in a manner not dangerous to public health. Whenever a person so affected is, or is likely to be, a menace to the health of others, the director of public health shall have the power to cause the removal of such person to an isolation hospital or other proper place until the danger has been removed. Upon recovery of a person having tuberculosis, it shall be the duty of his physician to notify the director of public health. (Code 1941, Art. 49-16; Ord. 4404)
