The Quarantine Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3. c. 80) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that authorised the erection of a lazaret on Chetney Hill in Kent and consolidated enactments related to quarantine in Great Britain.
Provisions Repealed enactments Section 8 of the act repealed 6 enactments, listed in that section, with effect from 1 October 1800. The repeal of three of those enactments was limited to so much of them as related to the performance of quarantine. Any other act was also repealed in so far as it related to the performance of quarantine and was contrary to the provisions of the act.
