Health officials said Tuesday they're prepared to legally enforce the state's "voluntary" quarantine on health care workers who've treated Ebola patients.
Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew declined during a news conference to comment specifically on the case of nurse Kaci Hickox, who was confined against her will at a New Jersey hospital before traveling home to Maine. But Mayhew said her department and the attorney general's office were prepared to take legal steps to enforce a quarantine if someone declines to cooperate.
"We do not want to have to legally enforce in-home quarantine," she said. "We're confident that selfless health workers who were brave enough to care for Ebola patients in a foreign country will be willing to take reasonable steps to protect residents of their own country. However we are willing to pursue legal authority if necessary to ensure risk is minimized for Mainers."

University of Maine students have already protested her getting anywhere near the Campus. Funny how that part didn't make the NBC Evening News, isn't it??
I was just reading another article that stated she would not comply with the quarantine. What a self centered twit she is.
No problem. Just make her personally financially responsible for all associated expenses (treatment, transportation, decontamination, etc., etc.) for herself and anyone else she might infect if she’s sick.
She’s a political animal, more than a health ‘person’
0bama’s WH is behind this. Klain.
