Disease response team to New York City for Ebola case

US President Barack Obama announced late Thursday the deployment of an additional response team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to New York City.
In a phone call with New York's governor Andrew Cuomo and it's mayor Bill de Blasio, Obama discussed the new Ebola patient held in Bellevue Hospital Center, noting the extensive preparations that the city and the hospital have undertaken to prepare for this contingency.
They have also discussed the deployment of officials from the CDC, where some were already on the ground in New York and announcing an additional team to be deployed late Thursday.
Obama offered the mayor any additional federal support necessary to provide the "highest standard of patient care, maintain the strictest safety protocols for healthcare workers, and to identify, as necessary, monitor any contacts of the patient potentially at risk of exposure." Doctor Craig Spencer is a physician who worked for Doctors Without Borders in West Africa and returned to the US on October 14. He was tested positive for the virus Thursday morning.
He allegedly continued his normal life after his return. Nevertheless officials said that he didn't show symptoms nor had fever during daily activities since then.
