A hazmat clean-up crew was on the way today to the apartment of the New York Ebola-stricken doctor, an official revealed.

Councilman Mark Levine, of the 7th district in Harlem where Dr Craig Spencer lives, told MailOnline on Friday that a contractor would carry out an environmental clean-up at the fifth floor home after it was sealed. The NYPD began putting up barriers late on Friday morning. 

A biohazard truck arrived on the block today which had large blue sealed containers in the back.  

Mr Levine said: 'They're going to be looking for body fluids and they're going to be looking for any item which would have been in contact with Dr Spencer's body, like sheets and pillow cases and tooth brushes and bath towels.

'The apartment will be cleaned and sanitized so it can be used again safely. We're hoping that Dr Spencer himself can return home soon.'
