During this time, it was discovered that there had been cases of the plague in Hong Kong, China. Chinese that would be entering the U.S. were forbidden and fear plagued citizens of San Francisco. 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. A citizen Mr. Wong Wai sued the department, ruling was in favor of Mr. Wai and requested that the department terminate their behavior. Health officials dissatisfied with the ruling ostracized and isolated Chinatown and all it's inhabitants, because of their suspicions of the plague spreading. [1]
