Section 19. Pilot to be exempt from performing quarantine in certain cases; restriction
No pilot bringing a ship or vessel to the Lazaretto in an apparent state of good health shall be obliged to perform quarantine, but the Lazaretto physician shall grant such pilot a certificate permitting him to proceed to the capes of Delaware, in order that he may prosecute his profession; but such pilot shall not, on any pretense, come into the City of Philadelphia, the Northern Liberties, the district of Southwark, or the townships of Moyamensing or Penn, for twenty days from the date of such certificate, under the penalty of one hundred dollars or one year imprisonment, which penalty shall be recovered and applied in the manner hereinafter directed. Any pilot bringing to the Lazaretto a ship or vessel infected with any pestilential or contagious disease, may be permitted to go and remain on shore within the bounds of the Lazaretto during the time the ship or vessel brought thither shall be detained under quarantine. Provided, always, that the said pilot shall be infected with any disease as aforesaid, he shall be detained and treated in the like manner as seamen or passengers so infected are herein directed to be detained and treated. Provided, further, that if he shall go without the bounds of the Lazaretto, he shall be liable to the same penalties as are by this act imposed on seamen or passengers escaping therefrom.
