CDC Director Tom Frieden said the guidelines released to state health departments call for those who have had direct exposure to the Ebola virus—such as caring for an Ebola patient without wearing PPE Level-C protective gear—to stay off public transportation and avoid “congregate settings” such as offices.

Those individuals would also be banned from flying and would undergo “direct active monitoring” by a public health worker who would check their temperatures twice daily and discuss possible symptoms, he said.

Less strict than a quarantine but still restrictive. Banned from flying, for example. Mandatory direct monitoring, with readings taken twice a day.

All reasonable restrictions, of course. It's the unnecessary mandatory quarantine I have a problem with. Christie's not a doctor, and certainly not an infectious disease expert, so I don't like it when he, using his power as governor, imposes a mandatory quarantine of someone who does not need to be quarantined. I view it as a limited government issue (not that Christie has ever respected limited government, of course).
