"We have been preparing literally for weeks on a co-ordinated effort plan between New York City, New York State, federal government CDC, we just done a training with 5 thousand healthcare workers, the health care union has been fantastic."
State health officials continue to tell the public they believe that Ebola is spread by directly touching the bodily fluids of an infected person, not through air or water – or by being near an infected person.
Cuomo's Republican gubernatorial rival Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino issued a statement - quote - This was avoidable. President Obama and Governor Cuomo left JFK airport open to passengers arriving from Ebola-stricken nations even though they knew the likelihood of an Ebola case arriving here was great.
