A nurse who was quarantined in New Jersey after returning from Sierra Leone despite showing no signs of Ebola has said she will defy quarantine restrictions in her home state of Maine. State officials are seeking a court order to force Kaci Hickox to remain in her home, even though she has tested negative for Ebola. Speaking to NBC’s Today show, Hickox said she would go to court to fight for her freedom.

Kaci Hickox: “I remain appalled by these home quarantine policies that have been forced upon me, even though I am in perfectly good health and feeling strong and have been this entire time completely symptom-free. I’m thankful to be out of the tent in Newark, but I find myself in yet another prison, just in a different environment.”
