This Act establishes the Quarantine Authority as a body corporate. It shall consist of a Chairman and four other members to be appointed in accordance with the provisions of section 3. The Minister may make regulations, as respects the whole or any part of the Jamaica, including the ports and coastal waters thereof, for preventing: (a) danger to public health from ships or aircraft or persons or things therein, arriving at any place; and (b) the spread of infection by means of any ship or aircraft about to leave any place, or by means any person or thing about to leave any place in any ship or aircraft. The Quarantine Authority may make rules for implementing or carrying into effect any regulations in force by virtue of section 7, and for supplementing any such regulations as regards any matters for which the Quarantine Authority may deem it expedient to provide. When in the opinion of the Quarantine Authority an emergency exists, the Quarantine Authority may, by order, direct special measures to be taken during the continuance of that emergency for any of the purposes specified in this Act.
