Duty of person in charge to isolate infective animals

Every owner, or person in charge of an animal which he has reason to believe to be affected with a scheduled disease shall keep that animal in a closed space separate from animals not so affected. Explanation.—"Closed space" for the purposes of this section means any place, enclosed in such manner, and situated at such distance, as to effectively prevent any animal affected with a scheduled disease from coming into contact with any animal not so affected, or any animal not so affected from coming into contact with an animal so affected.
