Dr. Craig Spencer, who was diagnosed with Ebola in New York City last month after returning from treating patients in Guinea, is now free of the virus and will be released from the hospital Tuesday, a city official familiar with the doctor's treatment said Monday.
Spencer, a Doctors Without Borders physician, became the first person to test positive for the deadly virus in the city.
Officials said Spencer, 33, was hospitalized after developing a fever, nausea, pain and fatigue.
He has been in isolation at New York's Bellevue Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment.
Word that Spencer went for a jog, traveled the city's vast subway system and went bowling before his diagnosis sparked fears that the number of Ebola cases could grow in the city, but authorities stressed that the likelihood of him spreading the virus was low.
