A Maine judge ruled Friday that 33-year-old nurse Kaci Hickox can leave her residence and go out in public, rejecting the Pine Tree State’s 21-day quarantine, ABC News reports.

“I am humbled today by the judge’s decision and even more humbled by the support that we have received by the town of Fort Kent, the state of Maine, across the United States and even across the border,” Hickox told reporters following the judge’s ruling.

Hickox, who had been working in Sierra Leone with Doctors Without Borders, was originally quarantined in New Jersey before being allowed to return to Maine. While in the Garden State, the nurse tested negative for Ebola twice.

According to The Hill, the nurse will still be monitored on a daily basis for possible Ebola symptoms.

Chief District Court Judge Charles LaVerdiere’s ruling will remain in effect until this coming Tuesday, when he scheduled a hearing on the state’s petition to quarantine the nurse for 21 days.

Although Hickox is glad to have postponed her legal battle with the state, she is keenly aware of the public’s fear of the deadly Ebola virus.

“I know Ebola is a scary disease,” Hickox said. “I have seen it face-to-face.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is only one person currently being treated for Ebola in the U.S. Symptoms of Ebola typically appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to the virus, but the average is eight to 10 days.
