Whenever the Commissioner shall receive information from an authoritative source to

disease and is likely to infect or to be the source of infection of another person,
the Commissioner shall cause a medical examination to be made of such person, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether or not such person is in fact infected with such
disease in a communicable stage, and such person shall submit to such examination
and permit specimens of blood or bodily discharges to be taken for laboratory examinations
as may be necessary to establish the presence or absence of such disease or infection,
and such person may be detained until the results of such examinations are known.
The required examination shall be made by a physician licensed to practice in this

physician making such examination shall report thereon to the Commissioner and to
