Officials in all three states say any person traveling from the three hard-hit West African nations who had contact with infected or possibly infected people will be quarantined for 21 days. That includes doctors.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH’-moh) say a health care worker who had contact with Ebola patients in Africa was quarantined after landing at Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey on Friday. Health officials say she later developed a fever but a preliminary test for Ebola was negative.
Aid groups have warned that such restrictions could cost them health care volunteers.
Well ,do you think they’ve finally come to their senses ?
About time. If President Ovomit doest have the intestinal fortitude to do it, im glad the local governers do.
Our fearless leader has more allegiance to the poor indigenous people of West Africa, then to U.S. citizens. The absolute first rule of government is to protect your citizens. Not to this moron. Political liberal correctness supersedes his requirement to protect U.S. citizens. I am afraid that after mid-term elections when there will no longer be any meaningful elections until the conclusion of his presidency, we will first see his messianic liberal agenda with a vengeance.
the guy in the picture must have missed the cdc warnings about avoiding direct contact. he is ok with short sleeves, you never know when someone will sneeze. i would like him to be quarantined as a precaution.
