Doctors without Borders physician who returned recently from West Africa tests positive, New York City mayor confirms.


A physician with Doctors Without Borders who returned from West Africa recently has tested positive for Ebola at a New York City hospital, the city's mayor confirmed.

The doctor developed a fever and gastrointestinal symptoms, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said in a statement on Thursday.

The doctor has been identified as Craig Spencer, who lives in Manhattan's Harlem neighbourhood, according to New York City Councilman Mark Levine.

"A person in New York City, who recently worked with Doctors Without Borders in one of the Ebola-affected countries in West Africa, notified our office this morning to report having developed a fever," Doctors Without Borders said in a statement.

European countries won't come out to warn their citizens against travelling to US, now that the US is an ebolarize nation. But they were so quick to warn them against travelling to Nigeria when we had our share of EVD.

Very pathetic!!!

Yes, they won't...for the simple reason that the US has multiple high grade isolation facilities for serious infectious disease....while Nigeria has none.

Next time....vote for leaders or make your leaders invest in health care a lot more than they are doing....rather than play paper nationalism.
