Health Officials Issue Precautions As Infantile Paralysis Spreads
Dr. J Allen Whitaker urged precautions during an outbreak of infantile paralysis in North Carolina. The County Board of Health met in Mount Airy and issued recommendations to protect children under 15, limit gatherings and visits to epidemic areas, avoid pools and shows, and postpone the Dobson County Singing. Wake and Johnston Counties report cases, including Yadkin in the Piedmont, while adults show lower risk though not immune. The board retains quarantine powers but opts for guidance over drastic action.
