The San Francisco Health Department closed Chinese business and subsequently burned parts of Chinatown. The inhabitants of Chinatown were required to receive vaccinations if they planned on emigrating from the city.

Health officials dissatisfied with the ruling ostracized and isolated Chinatown and all it's inhabitants, because of their suspicions of the plague spreading. [1]
