NY's only Ebola patient cured, released from hospital
Craig Spencer, 33, an emergency room doctor in New York, appeared at a press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio to announce that he had been released from Bellevue Hospital.
“New York City’s first and only Ebola case is successfully treated. Spencer is Ebola-free and New York City is Ebola-free,” de Blasio said at the hospital.
Spencer had been admitted to the hospital three weeks earlier after he returned to the United States on October 17 from Guinea.
He returned to the US flying into John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The case sparked off fears as Spencer traversed New York in the days following his return, using the subway and a taxi, dining in a popular restaurant and going bowling with friends before falling ill and isolating himself, reports said.
