NBC Doc Apologizes For Breaking Quarantine


NBC's chief medical editor and correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman has apologized for violating voluntary quarantine guidelines after traveling to Liberia to cover the Ebola outbreak. That quarantine has since been made mandatory.

During the trip, Ashoka Mukpo, a 33-year-old NBC News freelance cameraman, was diagnosed with the Ebola virus, but Snyderman and three other crewmembers remained symptomless. On Oct. 11, Snyderman and those crewmembers were put under quarantine by the New Jersey Department of Health, which said they violated an agreement to quarantine themselves for 21 days after returning to the United States.
