During the year the health of the Gulf Ports has been satisfactory except
Mohammerah where there was an epidemic of plague lasting from the 1st June
to 6th July 1922. Basrah and Mohammerah were declared free from plague on
the latter date. The number of cases and deaths of plague at Mohammerah
were 44 and 24, respectively. During this period stringent measures for
quarantining 2nd class and deck passengers were carried out at all the ports.
There was no epidemic of any other sort in any of the Gulf Ports with the
exception of Bahrein where one case of cholera was reported to have occurred
on the 21st October 1922. This, however, was taken in hand immediately and
there was no further spread of the disease.
