CHECKING SPREAD OF DISEASES
NEW AIR QUARANTINE REGULATIONS (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct. 23. “The revocation of the Quarantine (Air) Regulations, 1948, and the gazetting today of the Quarantine (Air) Regulations, 1952, will bring New Zealand into line with the international sanitary regulations recently adopted by the fourth World Health Assembly” said the Minister of Health (Mr J. R Marshall) today. Mr Marshall said the new regulations differed from the preceding two conventions, which until now had dealt with sea and air traffic. The provisions of the regulations enabled the person in charge of any airport at which aircraft arrived from overseas, and the medical officer concerned to take all necessary action to detect and deal with any dangerous infectious diseases which might be brought into New Zealand. “It will be realised that, with the growth of modern transport, stringent precautions must be taken to ensure thaf the introduction of infectious diseases from other countries is prevented,” said Mr Marshall.
