Medical officers of health had been instructed to communicate with all responsible organisers to see that all arrangements were kept up to date. “I am advised,” added the Minister, “that there doos not appear to be any justification for undue alarm, but. nevertheless, it is considered desirable in the public interest to take such steps as may be necessary.”
