Craig Spencer, the New York City doctor who last month became the first — and only — person in the city to test positive for Ebola, will be released from the hospital Tuesday, according to The New York Times. Spencer was isolated after returning to the states from Guinea, where he treated Ebola patients.

With Spencer making a full recovery, there are now zero active cases of Ebola infection in the United States.
