Hello there and welcome to BYC!

After a flock goes through some of these respiratory diseases, the survivors become carriers for the rest of their days. So every time you bring in new birds, they are going to catch what they original flock had/has. So it is entirely up to you if you wish to cull and start over. However bacteria can linger all over the place. So you would need to strip the entire place down, scrub, use ammonia, paint, and get everything completely disinfected. You can also start completely over on new grounds.

If you know exactly what disease the flock had, there are vaccines for some of these respiratory ailments you can give to new birds.

Sorry this is being caught between a rock and a hard place. I hope the young ones can be successfully treated - then you could keep a closed flock so it doesn't go farther.
