Open Question

Isolating patients with contagious disease is an old hospital practice with antecedents in historic fever hospitals and lazarettos. The modern CDC categories of isolation precaution were revised repeatedly (1985 to 1988, 1987, 1996) but the source reviewed gives no single origin year for the general practice of medical isolation.

What would resolve this A source giving the specific year the CDC or an equivalent body first codified formal patient isolation categories, or a source dating the origin of the general hospital practice of isolating contagious patients, would resolve this.
