## Transcript

New Jersey and New York have ordered mandatory 21 day quarantines in their states. For any, any incoming travelers who had contact with Ebola victims in west Africa. The governors of both states held a press conference Friday to explain their decision. Neither were big fans of allowing travelers to self quarantine. Voluntary quarantine. No, it's almost an oxymoron to me, you know, this is a very serious situation. We tried voluntary quarantine once with the NBC news crew, and within a day or two they violated their agreement with us. According to WCBS, the new quarantine will put those who have had direct contact with Ebola patients in West Africa.

Under automatic quarantine for 21 days at a government regulated facility. The governors say anyone else coming back will be monitored for temperature and symptoms by state health department officials. During the conference Governor Cuomo was openly critical of New York City's recent Ebola patient, Dr. Craig Spencer. Saying he's a doctor and even he didn't follow the guidelines for the quarantine, but some are worried the new mandatory quarantine will make doctors in the U. S. less likely to help those in west Africa. I've been talking to healthcare workers who've been to Africa. They say they wouldn't go back if they knew that upon their return they'd have to be alone for 21 days, couldn't see their family, couldn't work.

And as the Wall Street Journal notes, international aid groups already have enough trouble attracting medical volunteers to West Africa due to the danger, emotional cost and training involved. New Jersey's quarantine was put into effect almost immediately as an unidentified woman who worked with Doctors Without Borders. Was put into isolation shortly after arriving at Newark Liberty International airport
