CARL AZUZ, cnn ANCHOR: Taking off the last week in October. This is commercial free cnn STUDENT NEWS. Welcome. I`m Carl Azuz.

Late last week, a doctor who treated Ebola patients in the West African nation of Guinea came down with the dangerous virus, but he was in New York

City when he did. 33-year old Craig Spencer became the fourth person diagnosed in the U.S. with Ebola. He`s in isolation at New York`s Bellevue

Hospital. Three people who`d been in contact with him are in quarantine.

Three U.S. states also have new quarantine rules for people returning from West Africa who`d been exposed to Ebola patients. In Illinois, they have a

21 day home quarantine. In New York and New Jersey, they have a mandatory 21 day hospital quarantine. A doctor at the National Institutes of Health

says the new rules could discourage health care workers from helping fight Ebola in West Africa. But he also says many Americans have lost faith in

the federal government`s efforts to stop the spread of Ebola.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: President Obama hugging nurse Nina Pham to show Americans the Ebola scare is under control.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Just minutes after her doctor did the same.

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, NIH: She`s cured of Ebola. Let`s get that clear, OK? That`s for sure.

NINA PHAM, NURSE DECLARED FREE OF EBOLA VIRUS: I`m on my way back to recovery, even as I reflect on how many others have not been so fortunate.

JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: I think this also should be a pretty apt reminder that - that we do have the best medical infrastructure

in the world.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The White House given the alarm over a new Ebola patient a doctor in New York City, was quick to point out one of the CDC

swat teams the president ordered was on the case.

EARNEST: I`m told that this swat team actually arrived in New York at the same evening that this individual was a confirmed Ebola patient.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: But on Capitol Hill, a National Nurses Union leader called the overall response dangerously inconsistent and inadequate.

DEBORAH BURGER, RN, NATIONAL NURSES UNITED: No nation would even contemplate sending soldiers into the battlefield without armor and

weapons. Give us the tools we need. All we ask from President Obama and Congress is not one more infected nurse.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And Republicans continued to question why the president named a political aide, Ron Klain, to coordinate the effort.

REP. TREY GOWDY, R-S.C.: Cite me all of his medical infectious disease, communicable disease, health care delivery background.

NICOLE LURIE, MD, HHS ASSISTANT SECRETARY: You know, one of the terrific things the government works together is that experts come together all the

time.

GOWDY: I`m going to take that answer as he has none.
