New York City doctor contracts Ebola.

A New York-based doctor has contracted Ebola.

According to CNN, Craig Spencer, a 33-year-old doctor who works with Doctors Without Borders, and had just returned to New York city on October 17th after treating Ebola patients in Guinea. 

The symptoms of the disease only began to manifest on Thursday, when the doctor started to experience nausea, pain, fever, and fatigue. He is presently in isolation at New York’s Bellevue Hospital.

He is said to have gone for a jog, may have gone to a restaurant, traveled the city's vast subway system and went bowling before feeling ill, but authorities stressed that the likelihood of him spreading the virus was low.

He is the fourth confirmed Ebola case in the US after the Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan and the two nurses who treated him.
