Dr. Crag has been tested positive of Ebola after test was carried on him.
Panic sweep across the American most populous city. Particularly among those who board the subway trains he reported to have taken earlier before he was tested positive.
Meanwhile last night, the doctor, who had been self-monitoring his symptoms, took an Uber cab to a bowling alley in Williamsburg.
But the next day, Spencer reported his fear and was taken in an ambulance staffed with a hazmat crew from his home where he shared with his girlfriend in Harlem.
Good News is he has not treated patients since he returned from Africa.
New york city Mayor Bill DeBlasio tried to calm fears, "It is our understanding very few people were in direct contact with him. 'Every protocol has been followed. We're hoping for a good outcome for this individual."
His girlfriend and two others who came in direct contact with him when he developed his symptoms will be monitored.
Also, starting from Monday, the new law will included monitoring of all travelers coming to the United States from Ebola-affected areas for 21 days (read here).
