Dr. Nancy Snyderman Issues Statement After Breaking Quarantine

FTVLive told you yesterday that NBC Medical Correspondent Dr. Nancy Synderman was ordered into mandatory quarantine, after she was spotted out at a local restaurant. 

Last night,  Snyderman issued a statement about the violation that was read by Brian Williams on NBC's Nightly News:

While under voluntary quarantine guidelines, which called for our team to avoid public contact for 21 days, members of our group violated those guidelines and understand that our quarantine is now mandatory until 21 days have passed. We remain healthy and our temperatures are normal. 

As a health professional I know that we have no symptoms and pose no risk to the public, but I am deeply sorry for the concerns this episode caused. We are thrilled that Ashoka is getting better and our thoughts continue to be with the thousands affected by Ebola whose stories we all went to cover.

We love how Synderman says, "members of our group violated" the self quarantine.

How about owning up to YOUR screw up, Dr. Nancy?

Just a thought.
