The New York Times is reporting that the test results for the New York City doctor who was showing Ebola-like symptoms have come back positive.
City Councilman Mark Levine says the man is Dr. Craig Spencer.
The international nonprofit Doctors Without Borders says he was working with them in an Ebola-affected country.
This morning, he reported a fever, and Doctors Without Borders notified the city’s Department of Health.
He was transported from his apartment to Bellevue Hospital, where he is currently in an isolation unit.

The mayor and governor are holding a news conference at about 9 p.m. tonight from the hospital.
The New York Times says Spencer’s apartment in Harlem was sealed off.
State and federal officials are working to identify everyone he’s come into contact with since returning home.
