The city will brief members of the New York City Police Department and the fire department and other first responders Monday on the specific steps being taken to protect them in the event a case of Ebola emerges in the Big Apple.
The city says it will also be offering workers specialized training to keep them safe from the virus, should it arrive here.
The safety of first responders has come into focus this month after two nurses at a Dallas hospital caught Ebola from a man they were treating.
Meantime, fears are beginning to ease for others who had close contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, now that a monitoring period has passed.
On Monday, friends and relatives of Duncan were allowed to leave the home where they have been confined for a 21-day incubation period.
