Ebola:New Jersey Release Nurse Quarantine In Ebola scare

 A nurse who was quarantined at a hospital in New Jersey after returning from West Africa was released Monday.

Kaci Hickox, told CNN that the quarantine was violating her rights, was discharged after testing negative for Ebola.


Hickox was put in isolation Friday after returning to New Jersey from a month in Sierra Leone.

Her quarantine, part of a days-old policy the governors of New York and New Jersey instituted for all health care workers who've had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa, has been criticized widely by health care experts.

She told CNN "This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and she feel like her basic human rights have been violated,"  She said she was flummoxed as to how New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has no medical training, could describe her as "obviously ill."
