If you are in charge of an airport or port, the detention of a craft under section 97B of the Health Act 1956 stops when you get a written notice from a medical officer of health or a health protection officer. This notice tells you that the detention has ended. You get this notice in writing, which means it is not just a verbal message, but a formal document that says the craft is no longer being detained.
