US judge rejects restrictions on nurse ignoring Ebola quarantine

A judge has rejected a bid by health officials in Maine to restrict the movement of nurse Kaci Hickox, who defied a quarantine for medical workers who have treated Ebola patients.

Judge Charles C LaVerdiere ruled today that she should continue daily monitoring and co-ordinate travel with state officials so monitoring can continue. But, because she is not showing symptoms, the judge said she is not infectious.
