Kaci Hickox was a nurse who worked with persons who were infected with Ebola in West Africa. When she returned to the United States, the governors of New Jersey and Maine intervened to confine her to inpatient quarantine despite the fact that she was asymptomatic and had no serological evidence of infection. She defied the quarantine which resulted in enormous public attention and discussion of quarantine and public fear. This article summarizes the case discussing the history of the case, the government actions, and the final legal rulings.
卡茜·希科克斯（Kaci Hickox）是一名护士，她在西非与感染埃博拉病毒的人一起工作。当她回到美国时，新泽西州和缅因州的州长不顾她无症状且没有血清学感染证据的事实，干预将她隔离在住院检疫中。她无视隔离规定，这引起了公众的极大关注，并引发了关于隔离和公众恐惧的讨论。本文总结了该案例，讨论了案件的历史、政府的行动以及最终的法律裁决。
