The New Jersey Department of Health says a health care worker that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said would be quarantined because of a recent history of treating Ebola patients in West Africa developed a fever Friday evening and is now in isolation.
The New Jersey Department of Health says the worker is being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark.
According to the New Jersey Department of Health, the worker had no symptoms upon arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport Friday morning.
The news comes after Governor Andrew Cuomo joined Christie on Friday to outline new protocols when dealing with people flying in from West Africa.
They include an automatic 21-day quarantine for any at-risk travelers who have had contact with someone infected with Ebola. Others will have a protocol developed to fit their particular circumstance.
New York and New Jersey are two of five states with airports accepting flights from West Africa.
Cuomo says they talked to the CDC and agreed that states have the right to establish their own guidelines for the screenings.
