Nurse Kaci Hickox Plans To Fight Mandatory Quarantine

Kaci Hickox's fight continues. The nurse, who had treated Ebola patients in West Africa only to be quarantined in New Jersey, is now facing another quarantine...this time in her home state of Maine .Hickox had served with Doctor's Without Borders in Sierra Leone earlier this month. Upon her return to the US, at Liberty International Airport in Newark, NJ, on October 24, she was sent to University Hospital and placed under mandatory quarantine. Both NJ and NY have mandated that any individual who's had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa be quarantined for 21 days. NJ officials also say that Hickox had a fever at the airport. Hickox claims that she was distressed and upset, and that the forehead scanner used by the screeners mistook that for a  fever. She says her temperature was later determined to be normal.

Hickox made the news after her ordeal in the state of New Jersey. She claims that she was 'treated like a criminal' and suffered inhuman conditions while in isolation.

This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me. I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine...she says.

Gov Chris Christie said that his state let her go from quarantine after tests prove she was no longer symptomatic, however he strongly contends that the nurse wasn't treated well when in isolation.

Hickox returned home to Fort Kent in northern Maine and is now once again facing another potential quarantine. Maine health commissioner Mary Mayhew that while talks continue with the nurse's representatives, the state is in the process of filing a court order to require the nurse to abide by a 21-day quarantine.
