8.16.300   Prevention of communicable diseases.
   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.
(Prior code § 6.08.420 (Ord. 349 § 28, 1951))
8.16.310   Physician's statement required following certain illnesses.

   C.   Whenever required by Section 2573 of the Health and Safety Code, or laws or statutes which may supersede said section, the health department shall be notified that such child has been isolated or excluded pending presentation of a readmission certificate obtained according to the following regulations: Any child or other person who has been isolated because of illness from, or contact to, a communicable disease, or suspected communicable disease, shall not be readmitted or permitted to mingle with others without presentation of a certificate issued by the local health officer or his agent, or by the attending physician, and countersigned by the health officer, stating that such child or other person is not liable to transmit a communicable disease.

(Prior code § 6.08.460 (Ord. 349 § 32, 1951))
8.16.350   Variances.
   Where the strict enforcement of the provisions of this chapter will present great practical difficulties or work unnecessary hardships, or will be materially detrimental to the preservation of a property right, the city council, upon application in writing, may grant a variance of the provisions of this chapter for any establishment regulated under this chapter, existing on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, upon such conditions and for such length of time, not exceeding one year, as may be required, if the city council is satisfied that the granting of such variance will not endanger the public health, safety or welfare.
