NYC tries to ease Ebola fear after doctor infected


NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH’-zee-oh) says a team of disease detectives tracking the movements of a New York City doctor diagnosed with Ebola will soon detail their findings.

Officials say the experts’ findings will be released later Friday.

Health Commissioner Mary Bassett says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the city’s Ebola diagnosis for Dr. Craig Spencer.

She says he visited a restaurant, went to a bowling alley and jogged for three miles before being admitted to a hospital Thursday.

Spencer is in isolation. He’s in stable condition.

He sought treatment Thursday after measuring a 100.3-degree fever.

A company that handles Ebola decontamination was sent to Spencer’s Harlem home.

City officials continued to temper fears and urge calm after Spencer’s diagnosis. He had been treating people in West Africa.
