unless specially authorised by a Medical Officer of Health in relation to those particular premises or vessel no such entry shall be made between sunset and sunrise; and
where the premises are a dwelling-house not less than six hours' notice of intention to enter shall be given to the occupier, unless it is certified in writing by a Medical Officer of Health that to give such notice would defeat the object of the entry.
