New Jersey – NBC News medical correspondent Nancy Snyderman has admitted that some members of her crew violated a voluntary quarantine to protect against Ebola, a misstep that caused New Jersey health officials to make that quarantine mandatory.

NBC said Tuesday that Snyderman and her crew are taking their temperatures regularly and remain healthy. The team was reporting in Liberia alongside cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who tested positive for the deadly disease and is now being treated in Nebraska.
Snyderman confirmed the violation, but neither she nor NBC representatives would give details.
The local news website Planet Princeton reported that Snyderman and others drove for takeout food last week.
After the report, New Jersey health authorities ordered Snyderman and her crew to remain quarantined until after 21 days had passed since their potential exposure to the virus.
“As a health professional I know that we have no symptoms and pose no risk to the public, but I am deeply sorry for the concerns this episode caused,” Snyderman said. She would not say whether or not she had violated the voluntary quarantine.
NBC, citing privacy concerns, also would not say how many of its employees are being quarantined.
Glad she takes her “job” seriously. When she gets sick, she should be told GOOD FOR YOU and allowed to kick the bucket.

“Mark Levin” should be quarantined.
It’s a plauge in the making. Hope our people are safe.
So it’s only voluntary until they breach it? Hence, it’s really mandatory but the govt doesn’t want to scare us. The govt is hiding how dangerous it is, either to save face (and not lose politically) , be PC (what country you are from doesn’t matter, everyone is getting their temperature taken at an airport. Except for those flying to LAX, where a large percentage of people from Africa fly in/out of…) or to protect the economy (tourism…).
