Nurse says she won't be 'bullied,' won't obey Ebola quarantine

Nurse says she won&#039;t be &#039;bullied,&#039; won&#039;t obey Ebola quarantine

last updated 8 January 2015

Kaci Hickox, the Maine nurse who was the first person forced into a 21-day quarantine under the policy created by Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), has no plans to wait it out.

Hickox was allowed to return home to Maine after she spent three days in a New Jersey isolation tent upon returning to the U.S. from Sierra Leone, where she treated Ebola patients. After testing negative for the disease and blasting the mandatory quarantine policy as "inhumane," Hickox is now supposed to spend her days self-quarantined in her Maine home.
