A doctor who worked in West Africa with Ebola patients remains in an isolation unit in New York after testing positive for the virus.

He's the fourth person diagnosed with the disease in the US and the first in its largest city.

33 year old Craig Spencer, was placed in a quarantined unit at Bellevue Hospital yesterday, six days after returning from Guinea.
