OCT. 14:

Spencer departed Guinea on a flight to Brussels after nearly a month treating Ebola patients. Health officials say he told them he was feeling well and had no fever when he left Guinea or during his travels in Europe.

OCT. 17:

Spencer arrived at Kennedy Airport on Brussels Airlines Flight SN0501, checking in with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents. He had no symptoms. He filled out a questionnaire saying he had no Ebola symptoms but stating that he “worked in a health care facility ... in an Ebola outbreak country.” He also had his temperature taken, and officials said the personal protective gear he wore while in Guinea had not been compromised. He was sent on his way, promising to check his temperature twice a day and report any changes to Doctors Without Borders for the next 21 days. He returned to his apartment in Hamilton Heights.

 OCT. 21:

7 a.m. - Reported to Doctors Without Borders that he was experiencing fatigue and exhaustion, but no fever, vomiting or diarrhea. City Department of Health officials concede that exhaustion is a symptom of Ebola, but insist that it’s “very unlikely” the people he came into close contact with were exposed. Nevertheless, those people — his fiancée and two friends — were quarantined.

3 p.m. - Spent 40 minutes eating lunch at the Meatball Shop on Greenwich Ave. in the West Village.

4:30 p.m. - Toured the High Line. Walking uptown, he stopped at the Blue Bottle Coffee stand at W. 16th St.

5:30 p.m. - Finished his High Line visit at 34th St. and walked several cross-town blocks to Penn Station. He boarded a No. 1 train at the 145th St. station near his apartment.
