Governors back home quarantine for Ebola workers


In this frame grab provided by Fox News, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, left, is interviewed in Washington, D.C., on "FOX News Sunday" by host Chris Wallace, Sunday Oct. 26, 2014. The gulf between politicians and scientists over Ebola widened as Fauci made the rounds on five major Sunday morning talk shows to warn that the mandatory, 21-day quarantining of medical workers returning from West Africa is unnecessary and could discourage volunteers from traveling to the danger zone. He said that close monitoring of medical workers for symptoms is sufficient, and warned that forcibly separating them from others, or quarantining them, for three weeks could cripple the fight against the outbreak in West Africa — an argument that humanitarian medical organizations have also made. (AP Photo/Fox News) NEW YORK (AP) — The governors of New York and New Jersey are at odds with scientists over Ebola as they back 21-day quarantines for medical workers returning from West Africa, while the nation's top infectious-disease expert warns that such restrictions are unnecessary and could discourage volunteers from aiding disease-ravaged countries.
