FORT KENT, Maine, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Maine officials went to court in a bid to obtain an order requiring a blood test from the nurse at the center of a federal-state debate over Ebola protocols.
Asymptomatic Kaci Hickox, who last week blasted her forced quarantine in New Jersey after returning from working in Sierra Leone, defiantly took a bike ride with her boyfriend in Maine where she's vacationing. State troopers tailed the pair, but didn't stop them. Officials want Hickox to maintain a voluntary quarantine in the home where she's staying. But state governor Paul LePage said officials would drop the quarantine requirement if Hickox submits to a blood test.
