955. Food supplies and vessels to receive attention.
- Food should be constantly inspected to ensure that it is of good quality, cleanly prepared and well cooked. The issue of uncooked food and raw vegetables and fruits should be temporarily suspended. All food-stuffs not required immediately and more especially milk should be boiled and stored in a cool place in vessels scaled with boiling water and protected from flies. The cook house should be kept under close supervision by the Medical Officer and all refuse should be removed and burnt in an incinerator. The drains from the cook house should be cleaned daily and disinfected. The cooks should be once inoculated against cholera and their state of health inquired into daily and if any cook is found to be suffering from diarrhoea or is attacked by cholera, all the cooks should be changed.
