					 shall have the option to destroy the quarantined bird or birds if he so desires. In
					 such case the quarantine will be lifted following evidence that the infected
					 premises are thoroughly disinfected.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Any illness in which organisms of the genus
					 Salmonella (except the typhoid bacillus) have been isolated from feces, blood, urine
					 or pathological material shall be reported as a Salmonella infection. A culture of
					 the organisms on which the diagnosis is established shall be submitted first to a
					 local public health laboratory and then to the State Microbial Diseases Laboratory
					 for definitive identification. The period of isolation in accordance with Section
					 2518 shall be until clinical recovery.
					 The patient shall be subject to supervision by the local health officer who may
					 require, at his discretion, release specimens of feces for testing in a laboratory
					 approved by the State Department of Health Services.
However, no patient shall be released from supervision to
						engage in any occupation involving the preparation, serving or handling of food,
						including milk, to be consumed by individuals other than his immediate family, nor
						to engage in any occupation involving the direct care of children or of the elderly
						or of patients in hospitals or other institutional settings until two successive
						authentic specimens of feces taken at intervals of not less than 24 hours, beginning
						at least 48 hours after cessation of specific therapy, if any was administered, have
						been determined, by a public health laboratory approved by the State Department of
						Health Services to be negative for Salmonella organisms. (See Section
						2534.)
(b) Carriers. Any person who harbors Salmonella
					 organisms three months after onset is defined as a convalescent carrier and may be
					 restricted at the discretion of the local health officer.
Any person continuing to harbor Salmonella organisms one year
						after onset is a chronic carrier. Any person who gives no history of having had
						Salmonellosis or who had the illness more than one year previously who is found to
						harbor Salmonella organisms on two successive specimens taken not less than 48 hours
						apart is also considered to be a chronic carrier.
Chronic carriers of Salmonella, other than S. typhosa, shall
						be restricted at the discretion of the local health officer.
(c) Contacts. Restrictions on contacts shall be at
					 the discretion of the local health officer.
