Cuomo: We’ve Identified Four People Who Came in Contact with Ebola Doc

During tonight’s big press conference on Dr. Craig Spencer testing positive for Ebola, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said state health officials are aware of four individuals who came in contact with Spencer during the period when he started developing symptoms and they are keeping a close eye on them.

Cuomo mostly urged New Yorkers to keep calm and said, “The more facts you know, the less frightening the situation.”

Later on in the press conference, a New York health official confirmed that Spencer had taken Uber the previous night and the driver is not currently considered at risk.
