New York, N.Y. — A man who visited West Africa last month and is at a New York City hospital being tested for possible Ebola likely doesn’t have it, according to a report from The Associated Press.
A doctor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan says “odds are” it’s not Ebola. Dr. Jeremy Boal says he hopes for a definitive answer in the next day or two.
The hospital says the patient had a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms when he went in Monday. It placed him in isolation.
