1932年霍乱流行与铁路当局的防控

On the epidemic of cholera and its prevention and control by the railway authorities in 1932

1932年中国霍乱流行，遍及全国诸省，造成重大人员伤亡。为阻止霍乱疫情沿铁路线传播，国民政府铁道部和地方铁路管理局纷纷采取应对之策，颁布防疫法规，实施检疫、隔离留验、消毒、疫苗注射，乃至中断交通等措施。铁路当局的霍乱防控取得了一定成效，至1932年8月霍乱疫情开始逐渐消退。

In 1932, the epidemic of cholera in China was serious, spreading to all provinces nationwide, causing heavy casualties. In order to prevent cholera epidemics spread along the railway line, the National Government Ministry of Railways and the local railway administration had taken all countermeas- ures, including the promulgation of epidemic prevention laws and regulations, quarantine, isolated checkup, disinfection, vaccination and even interruption of traffic. The measures of railway authorities had a- chieved a certain success. In August 1932, cholera epidemic began to subside gradually.
