Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy’s order to quarantine all travelers from West Africa, even if they are symptom-free of the Ebola virus, has led to nine individuals who traveled to that region being held under quarantine.
An order signed by Malloy on October 7 declared a public health emergency in the state of Connecticut, reportedly enabling the Governor to give the public health commissioner, Dr. Jewel Mullen, the power, “under conditions prescribed” by her, to order the isolation or quarantine of anyone she reasonably believes to have been exposed to Ebola, infected with it, or at risk of transmitting it.
