US nurse defies Ebola quarantine

October 30, 2014 21:56

A nurse who vowed to defy US voluntary quarantine for health care workers who treated Ebola patients followed through on her promise, leaving her home for an hour-long bike ride. Kaci Hickox and her boyfriend stepped out of their home in the morning and rode away on mountain bikes, followed by a state police cruiser. It was the second time Hickox broke quarantine. She left her home Wednesday evening briefly to speak to reporters, even shaking a hand that was offered to her. Hickox contends there's no need for quarantine because she's showing no symptoms. She's also tested negative for the deadly disease.
