New York City doctor Craig Spencer will be released from Bellevue Hospital on Tuesday after being treated for the Ebola virus, The New York Times reported Monday.
Spencer, 33, had been working with Doctors Without Borders until last month treating Ebola patients in Guinea. He returned to New York on Oct. 17 and began to show symptoms the morning of Oct. 23. He was taken to the hospital in an ambulance and was diagnosed with Ebola several hours later.
The hospital confirmed the news, saying in a statement that Spencer has been declared free of the Ebola virus and poses no public health risk.
City officials, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett, will discuss Spencer's discharge in a Tuesday press conference. Spencer is expected to speak as well.
