This amendment provides that every immigran t shall be obliged. before he can take passage on a ship coming to this country. to have his clothing and baggage disinfected. and the immigrant himself must be put in quarantine for from five to seven days. Then in addition to that. we have the actual quarantine of. say. seven to twelve days in coming across the ocean. Now. it is provided by this amendment that after having undergone the quarantine abrcad and the quarantine of the voyage. immigrants shall not be subjected to another quarantine unless there is danger from some infectious disease aboard which has been developed during the voyage. All that this intends is to prevent the immigrant who has undergone the quarantine I speak of. of from five to seven days abroad. and also the quarantine on the voyage. from being again subjected to another quarantine here without any necessity for it. upon his arrival.
