New Jersey Releases Ebola Protocol Details

New Jersey's protocol to manage patients being screened for possible Ebola includes providing financial assistance to anyone who loses income because of a state-ordered quarantine.

That detail and others are in a memo sent from the state Department of Health to other officials made public Friday.

It represents the first time Gov. Chris Christie's administration has released full details of the state's protocols for dealing with people who have Ebola or are at risk of having it.

The Associated Press and other news outlets have been asking for copies of the Ebola plans since Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last week measures beyond what the federal government was calling for.

The state says the guidelines were not completed until Thursday evening.
