FORT KENT, Maine (AP) — A nurse who successfully fought Maine's quarantine for health care workers who have treated Ebola patients is free to go wherever she pleases, but her boyfriend on Monday was still staying away from the campus where he's a nursing student.
Ted Wilbur told reporters that the University of Maine at Fort Kent asked him to stay away as his girlfriend, Kaci Hickox, was in the news amid attempts to quarantine her after she returned from treating Ebola patient in West Africa. The university contends he voluntarily agreed to stay away, and the voluntary agreement remained in effect Monday.
Ray Phinney, associate dean of student life and development, said the university is willing to revisit the agreement.
Hickox, who contends she poses no danger because she's not showing symptoms, fought attempts to quarantine her after returning from Sierra Leone.
