 person affected with a communicable disease is properly iso- 

 lated on the premises, except in cases of smallpox, adult mem- 

 bers of the family or household, unless forbidden by the health 

 officer, may continue their usual vocations, provided such vo- 

 cations do not bring them in close contact with children.

 him, shall remove, or permit to be removed from any room,
