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 fiancée 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.
