Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ebola-Free Nurse Rejects Home Quarantine

HeadlineOct 29, 2014

The nurse freed from a mandatory quarantine in New Jersey says she will not obey a new confinement order in Maine. Kaci Hickox had been forced to live inside a tent at a Newark hospital after returning from West Africa, despite testing negative for Ebola. On Monday, Hickox was released to her home in Maine, where she now faces a 21-day home confinement rule. Hickox’s attorney says she will follow the federal guidelines requiring constant self-monitoring and a checkup with a local health authority. She remains asymptomatic, as she has been from the beginning.
