democratic governor of connecticut dan malloy on october 7th, almost three weeks ago with very little national attention, dan malloy three weeks ago declared it to be a public health emergency and empowered them to constitute mandatory quarantine orders for people returning from west africa. and the order that dan malloy issued leaves it up with commissioner of public health in connecticut to decide to impose a mandatory quarantine on anyone deemed by the commissioner to potentially have been exposed to ebola and to expose a risk to others. the number of people affected so far is not clear. or count as best we can tell is that eight people have been held rnd that mandatory quarantine in connecticut so far. this is not just people self-monitoring. this is people who are being held. this is an ordered status. one of those individuals who is being held in this ordered quarantine has tested negative for ebola and yet he is still confined to a quarantine under order from his state government. he's never spoken to the media before. his identity has never been before been publicly revealed.

dan malloy against tom foley in the state of connecticut. he had imposed this quarantine on that yale student, and the yale student wasn't happy about it. he abided by it. listen to this. >> it's a terrible policy. one thing we know that works to prevent ebola from being transmitted is when people monitor their symptoms and then report when they do have symptoms, and they can get tested, and if they're negative, then they're let go. if they're positive, they're isolated and treated. so this is a disinnocentive for people to do the one thing that does work. you know, if you do it and then you get essentially punished by house arrest. >> all right, keith. what do you think about that? >> it's certainly not a punishment as he is alluding to. it's interesting that the yale student followed the instructions, and here we have somebody who is actually in the health care industry, and she's violating them left and right. only way to protect society at large is to quarantine. do it for the 21-day period. >> back to your original point that states and

reporter: the president was supposed to head up to connecticut this evening to do an event with dan malloythat's off. the president is staying here at the white house. he's going to hold a meeting this afternoon with cabinet officials that are dealing with the ebola outbreak. we'll hear from the president. he'll make brief remarks at the conclusion of that meeting, as far as we understand right now. but, ashleigh, in just a few minutes, the white house press briefing will be started. and you can imagine that white house press secretary josh earnest is going to be peppered with questions about the cdc's response to that situation in dallas. the president has been briefed. we have been told that, about this new ebola patient in dallas by his counterterrorism adviser and homeland security adviser, lisa monaco who is coordinating the response to the ebola outbreak in west africa and the response here in the united states. as you know, there have been lots of questions as to whether or not the president needs an ebola czar, whether or not the cdc is doing all the right things at this point. so
