The Sultan, being the germaphobe that he is, freaks out. The capital is shut down, and soldiers man the walls. Anyone showing signs of any sickness whatsoever is placed under house arrest, with only medical personnel being allowed into their dwelling. Major cities are placed under lock-down, with patrols taking place along their perimeters and. Only those with the permission of either the Sultan himself or his General may enter. Meanwhile, at the ports, all ships are being inspected for signs of sickness. Anyone on the ships showing signs of sickness are forced to stay on their ship until they either recover or die. Furthermore, anyone or anything (remember, germaphobe) that leaves the ship is to be killed and disposed of immediately. A few nuts with ideas on how to escape the plague (bathing in urine, coating oneself in human excrement, sleeping on the left side of the bed, etc.) approached the Sultan and convince him of their methods. Four great fires are built around his throne (originality amiright?) and he has ordered that two chickens and one snake will be slain before him every day at noon. He encourages other nations' leaders to follow suit.
