NYC health commissioner: Unlikely man has Ebola
New York City’s health commissioner says a man who was admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms probably does not have Ebola.
Dr. Mary Bassett said Tuesday it’s “highly unlikely” the man has Ebola even though he was recently in an area of West Africa where an outbreak has occurred.
Bassett said she would await test results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
