ISSUED BY THE DEPT. OF HEALTH^ SCARLET I FEVER 1 ■ s ' Important Advice, Part I. Scarlet Fever spreads fast. If it's in your district' j watch out for sore throats. I | Sore throat, fever, nausea or vomiting are typical - symptoms. Where Scarlet Fever is about, the germ may be picked up at school, at work or on a social Visit. Many adults in a scarlet fever zone may suffer from sore throats and a feeling of malaise. Children, on contact with these carriers, will develop the fever f ! and rash. > Those with sore throats should take treatment and' stay at home, and all others should keep well dear j of them until they are better. j i Quarantine restrictions must be obeyed when scarleft j fever is around. If it strikes anyone in your house* ! j hold, this is what you do: " I • Strictly isolate the patient for three weeks (if not < J removed to hospital), and longer if there are any { discharges or persistent sore throat — until they j clear up. * > 1 • Keep child contacts away from school and other j • children for seven days if the patient has gone to • hospital ; or until he is out of isolation, if he is at home. i ; 0 Adult contacts who are healthy and without the tell-tale sore throat sign, may continue at their work, unless they are handling food or are brought into contact with groups of children. When the isolation period is over, or the patient removed to the hospital, fumigants are not necessary to disinfect the room. Boil everything that can be boiled, wash the blankets and put them in the sun, wash out and vacuum-clean the room, and throw it j open to fresh air. Don't take chances with Scarlet Fever. . j 2IA
