In reply to the discussion: Kaci Hickox Won't Follow Maine Ebola Quarantine Rule, Lawyer Says [View all]candelista
(1,986 posts)151. This looks like a pretty good place for a quarantine.
The home of Theodore Wilbur, boyfriend of Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was released from New Jersey's mandatory quarantine for certain travelers from Ebola-stricken West Africa, is seen in Fort Kent, Maine, October 28, 2014. Hickox, who so far had not arrived at the house, said on Wednesday that she will challenge restrictions by the state of Maine and does not plan to follow guidelines to quarantine herself until November 10.

She is not in the high risk category, so I don't think the CDC "stay away from public areas" applies
