US Court bids to limit movements of nurse after she defies quarantine

Health officials in Maine have asked a court to limit the movements of American nurse Kaci Hickox, who defied a voluntary quarantine for medical workers who have treated Ebola patients.

Officials filed documents yesterday, following through with a threat to try to isolate her, and a judge has issued a temporary order until a ruling expected today. For now, police are monitoring Ms Hickox and her public interactions but cannot detain her.
