Tracking One Man’s Contacts in a City of 8 Million 

New York City’s first confirmed case of Ebola has raised complicated logistical issues of how to trace the possible contacts of an infected patient in a city of more than 8 million people with a sprawling mass transit system and a large population of workers who commute every day from surrounding suburbs and states.
By the time the patient, Dr. Craig Spencer, an emergency doctor who had recently returned from Guinea, arrived at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan by ambulance on Thursday, he was seriously ill, officials said.
Dr. Spencer complicated the tracing process when he told health officials that just the night before, he had gone bowling in Brooklyn, making the long trip there from his home in Upper Manhattan by subway and then returning in a car hired via the taxi service Uber.
City health officials were suddenly faced with the challenge of finding the right balance between trying to find everyone who might have been exposed and responding to a disease that is transmitted only through direct exposure to bodily fluids.
It was soon clear that health authorities had other worries, as word emerged that they were isolating not just Dr. Spencer’s fiancĂ©e but also two friends who had been with him in the two days before he arrived at the hospital. Dr. Spencer said he had started feeling sluggish on Tuesday.
City officials were making plans to provide case managers for every family or person who might need to be quarantined. Those managers would help with the chores of daily life, such as providing school materials for children or food for people confined to their homes.
New York has some advantage in that it may be able to learn from what happened in Dallas, where two nurses became infected with Ebola after treating Thomas E. Duncan, the patient with the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the United States who died on Oct. 8.
