Doctor tests positive for Ebola in NYC

NEW YORK - A health care worker who recently had been to West Africa tested positive for the Ebola virus in New York City Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed at an evening press conference. The man, identified by CBS New York as Dr. Craig Spencer, 31, who worked with the aid group Doctors Without Borders, had quarantined himself after coming down with a fever and abdominal pains and was later transported to Bellevue Hospital, one of eight hospitals in New York State with specialized Ebola units. The CDC confirmed it is sending a team to New York to deal with the case. The agency will conduct follow up tests to confirm the initial test results, the Associated Press reported.
