UPPER EAST SIDE (WABC) -- Mount Sinai Hospital is performing tests on a patient who had recently traveled to a West African country where Ebola has been reported, the hospital says.
A male patient with high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms came to the hospital's emergency room on Monday morning.
The hospital says the patient has been placed in strict isolation and is undergoing medical screenings to determine the cause of his symptoms.
"All necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all patients, visitors and staff. We will continue to work closely with federal, state and city health officials to address and monitor this case, keep the community informed and provide the best quality care to all of our patients," the hospital wrote in a statement.

Oh those unfortunate rich liberal Upper East Siders!
First Diblasio wouldn’t clear their snow, and now this. Time for a long sojurn to the country or beach house.

Magical thinking.
They think they can stop anything, and refuse to see that this is burning out of control.
Dear God. Have mercy on us.
The only thing that is bringing me slight comfort is that fact that this has been raging in Africa for the past 4-5 months. If this virus is as contagious to our worst fears...by now, we would have seen deaths in the hundreds of thousands to millions in Africa. The high population density, the unsanitary conditions, fear, mis-handling, etc would have this thing going nuts.
This does not seem to be the case. The health care workers, family members and those in direct contact with victims seem to be the most affected.
Not the expert...but the horror movie impact, would only occur if for some reason, the virus has suddenly, and more recently turned more virulent...
Yep...however seeing the doctor who treated Patrick Sawyer is dead now...
Personally there is something much more virulent now with this 2014 strain.
Anyway i would buy stock in latex gloves..!
Big surprise.....not. Next we'll hear this guy's been traveling around on east coast subways, was hacking and gaging at the local McWhoppers, and on and on....
What scary about it, is that after 4-5 months it’s still not contained. It’s still spreading. Add to that the WHO stance that they can’t (will not) stop people who don’t exhibit symptoms from traveling.
Ghana is the only country to ban flights from affected countries.
So you have to wonder, if the WHO is taking appropriate level response to contain the threat. Because it sure doesn’t look like it.
Yeah...it stops when it runs out of hosts.
Exactly, so far people have been freaking out because we got the perfect Ebola patient, an American doctor who was head of his Ebola clinic in Africa, flown in a specially equipped plane to our top Ebola center as our first patient, and were panicking as that was seen by them as the act that was going to introduce Ebola into our perfectly sealed and pristine nation, or by keeping him out, we would remain pure and Ebola free.
Bttt
