General Medical Officer (GMO) Manual: Administrative Section

Quarantine Regulations

Department of the Navy
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery


Introduction

Each ship's medical officer or medical department representative needs to remain well informed of current quarantine regulations and instructions so they can advise the commanding officer on quarantine measures or regulations for foreign port visits. See SECNAVINST 6210.2, pertinent fleet instructions, MANMED chapter 22, and other current directives, as they become available for guidance.

Quarantine forms and Reports

The medical department submits quarantine forms and reports as required by SECNAVINST 6210.2 and other directives, to the commanding officer for signature. Ships returning to the United States from other countries need not submit quarantine forms. U.S. quarantine inspectors will fill out the appropriate form if required.
