President Barack Obama on Saturday commended New Yorkers for their calm reaction to the city’s first case of Ebola and said that medical authorities were responding effectively to the threat from the deadly virus. “It’s important to remember that of the seven Americans treated so far for Ebola – the five who contracted it in West Africa, plus the two nurses from Dallas – all seven have survived,” Obama said. He did not refer to new 21-day quarantines implemented late on Friday by New York and New Jersey for medical workers returning from Ebola hotspots. The first person to be quarantined under the states’ new measures was a medical worker who arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday after treating Ebola victims in West Africa.
