Via the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene: Health Department Update on Individuals Under Quarantine.
November 1, 2014 – The City is announcing today that, after a careful physician review, one individual under quarantine because of contact with Dr. Craig Spencer - the patient being treated for Ebola at Bellevue Hospital - will now be subject to direct active monitoring.
Information obtained in a thorough review with the quarantined individual by a senior New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene official on Friday, October 31st affirmed that the individual's exposure was not consistent with how Ebola is transmitted.
Because the individual poses no public health threat, daily movements will no longer be restricted by health officials. The individual will be assessed twice each day by Health Department staff.
