_The Evening Post_, 13 November 1924:
             PLAGUE PRECAUTIONS
    WHAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
                      IS DOING.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
                            AUCKLAND, 12th Nov.
  Strict precautions are being taken by the Health Department to prevent the introduction to New Zealand of pneumonic plague from California. Sir Maui #Pomare (Minister of Health) stated to-day that the British Consular Agent at Los Angeles had advised that the strictest measures were being taken to prevent the spread of the disease. So far as New Zealand was concerned, all Port Health Officers and shipping inspectors had been instructed to take the same precautions with boats from Los Angeles and San Francisco as were taken two years ago in respect of bubonic plague in Australia.
  The precautions include medical examination of passengers and crews inspection of ships, trapping of rats, and the usual devices to prevent rats gaining the shore.

Clean indoor air is an important part of infection prevention and protection from airborne pathogens. It is imperative to improve indoor air quality. The Airborne Act (HR 9000) is designed to promote ventilation and air filtration upgrades in commercial buildings. Better indoor air quality means fewer airborne diseases, protecting our health and boosting productivity.

The pathogen surveillance platform SPSP, co-led by SIB, centralises all genetic sequences of microbes collected in the country .
Its mission has since been expended to include new #pathogens including influenza, Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella.
