The 5-year-old boy who was being observed at Bellevue Hospital in New York City for Ebola has tested negative for the virus, the city health department announced Monday.
The boy, who had arrived from the Ebola-hit West African country of Guinea on Saturday, was brought to the hospital Sunday night. The NYC Department of Health and Human Services explained in a statement that while under observation at the hospital, he developed a fever at 7 a.m. on Monday.
Even though the boy tested negative for the virus, out of an abundance of caution, he won’t be released from isolation until further tests corroborate this first one, the health department said. He will also undergo respiratory virus testing.
Even before the test results, the health department’s so-called “disease detectives” had already begun tracking down contacts of the boy to determine their risk for Ebola.
