Whenever because of an unusually high incidence of communicable disease in the community the health officer deems it necessary, he may by order require each child, before enrolling in such private school, private boarding school, day nursery, day nursery school, and children's boarding home, to be inspected for signs of communicable disease, and no person shall thereafter permit any child to enroll in such school, nursery or home without complying with the requirements of this section. Such inspection shall be made and certified to in writing within twenty-four hours of enrollment, by a physician in good professional standing, or by the health officer or his agent, and must reveal that such child showed no signs of communicable disease which would cause the child's association with other children to be in any way detrimental to their health.
