Judge rejects quarantine for Maine nurse

A judge has ruled that Kaci Hickox, a Maine nurse who had treated Ebola patients, does not have to be fully quarantined, reports The Washington Post

Although Judge Cearles C. LaVerdiere had ruled on Thursday that Hickox keep a certain distance from the public, on Friday she changed course and ruled that her movements do not have to be completely restricted.
