US Treats EBOLA - Gets first New York Patient

The city of New York is treating its first Ebola patient after a doctor who was working in Guinea tested positive for the disease. Craig Spencer, 33, who had been working with the charity Doctors Without Borders, returned more than a week ago and yesterday reported coming down with a 103 degree fever and diarrhoea. He is being treated in an isolation ward at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital, a designated Ebola centre. The medic’s Harlem apartment has been cordoned off and the city’s disease detectives have been tracing his contacts to identify anyone who may be at risk. https://metro.co.uk/2014/10/24/doctor-in-new-york-tests-positive-for-ebola-after-working-in-guinea-4919247/
