950. Strict isolation of cholera patients to be in force.
- A special ward, hut, or tent, shall be erected for patients suffering from cholera and a couple of huts or tents, adjacent thereto for warders, sweepers and attendants. A prisoner seized with cholera shall be taken to the place erected for his reception and not to the hospital, and be attended by men from the affected barrack (those with shortest unexpired terms being selected) who should be encouraged by the offer of rewards to do their duty well. The Medical Subordinate and the Deputy Superintendent shall obey these instructions without awaiting orders from superior authority. All warders, sweepers and attendants on duty with a cholera patient shall at once be inoculated with a full dose of anti-cholera vaccine and shall not be allowed to mix with other prisoners until seven days have elapsed since the death or recovery of the last cholera patient and until their clothing and personal effects have been suitably disinfected.
