Kaci Hickox, a nurse who spent 5 weeks caring for Ebola patients in Sierra Leone was
quarantined in a tent against her will in New
Jersey. She then got a lawyer
and slammed the quarantine system ,calling it imprisonment and a violation of
right to freedom of movement.
She was released after testing negative but was and told to observe a 21 day quarantine at her home in Maine ..However, she insists she won't do that ,and vowed to fight the quarantine policy in court if necessary.
She was released after testing negative but was and told to observe a 21 day quarantine at her home in Maine ..However, she insists she won't do that ,and vowed to fight the quarantine policy in court if necessary.
She hired a lawyer and spoke out about her isolation and was
then transported to Maine.Maine officials have said that they would ask Hickox
to quarantine herself at home until the passage of 21 days from her last
possible contact with an Ebola patient, adding that they would make it
involuntary if she resisted.While asked by Matt Lauer, the
'today' show host if she planned to follow guidelines and finish that
quarantine on November 10, she said: "I don't plan on sticking to the
guidelines,".
"I remain appalled by these home quarantine policies
that have been forced upon me.
"Maine Governor Paul Le Page has said the
state would work with Hickox on a plan to isolate her for the 21-day period.One
of Hickox's lawyers, Norm Siegel, told Lauer that officials had until Thursday
to adjust their approach, and if they tried to physically apprehend Hickox once
she stops obeying the quarantine, her legal team would take the matter to
court.On Tuesday, the state's health commissioner without naming Hickox warned
that the state would force the quarantine if she didn't isolate herself
willingly.
"If an individual who came in direct contact with Ebola
patients has returned to Maine and is not willing to avoid public contact and
stay in their home voluntarily during the period they are at some risk, we will
take additional measures and pursue appropriate authority to ensure they make
no public contact," Maine Department of Health and Human Services
Commissioner Mary Mayhew told reporters Tuesday.
