Public health regulations issued by the State Board of Health cover quarantine establishment posting and enforcement, duties of sanitary police, and disinfection protocols for diseases such as cholera, smallpox, diphtheria, and tuberculosis with detailed release conditions and nurse and school requirements.
Quarantine Rules Include Written Permits For Entry
The ordinance requires a written permit signed by the mayor or township clerk for anyone to enter or leave quarantined premises except the attending physician. Physicians must wear a proper suit or gown and disinfect after entering. Isolation means complete patient separation and disinfection of all used articles before removal from the sick room. When possible, a nurse is involved.

It defines deodorants as odor removers without disinfection properties and sterilization as heat based germ destruction. Aseptic and sterile refer to absence of germ life.
