A U.S. nurse quarantined after returning from Sierra Leone has defeated her restrictions in court. On Friday, a Maine judge ruled Kaci Hickox has the right to go outside and cannot be confined to her home. Hickox has tested negative for Ebola and has displayed no symptoms. On Sunday, Hickox told NBC News she will still avoid crowded public places out of respect for locals’ concerns.

Kaci Hickox: “I will not go into town into crowded public places. I have had a few friends come visit me in my home, and that’s absolutely fantastic. But on the other hand, my partner is currently in nursing school, and there is definitely zero scientific evidence that says that he shouldn’t be allowed to return to his campus on Monday. The goal was to make sure that we are again talking about science and not politics.”
