Governor: Maine will seek to enforce quarantine
FORT KENT, Maine - Maine Gov. Paul LePage says the state is working with health officials to seek legal authority to enforce the quarantine of a nurse who treated Ebola patients in Africa.
LePage said Wednesday that state police are monitoring the Fort Kent home where nurse Kaci Hickox is under voluntary quarantine.
Hickox told NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Good Morning America" that she has so far abided by the state's voluntary quarantine. She says she had no contact with anyone Tuesday and will have no human contact again Wednesday.
But she said she doesn't plan to cooperate after that.
One of her lawyers said he's still hoping to reach an agreement with the state. Hickox says she is showing no symptoms.
She was the first person forced into New Jersey's mandatory quarantine after arriving at the airport.
