Preliminary tests at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan indicate that a 5-year-old Bronx boy does not have Ebola.

The boy was taken out of his East 172nd Street home overnight by medical personnel wearing protective gear, after he developed a fever just two days after returning from West Africa.

Meanwhile, Dr. Craig Spencer, New York's first resident to be diagnosed with Ebola, is doing better. He remains in serious, but stable condition at Bellevue Hospital.

In New Jersey, the first medical worker to be forced into quarantine after returning from West Africa is heading home to Maine. Kaci Hickox tested negative for Ebola twice in the last 24 hours.

She was the first medical worker forced into isolation after Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie issued a new isolation mandate for health care workers treating patients with Ebola upon their return home to the states.

"I know she didn't want to be there," said Christie. "No one ever wants to be in the hospital I suspect and so I understand that, but the fact is, I have a much greater responsibility to the public. So I think when she has time to reflect she'll understand as well."

The quarantine decision by the two governors has been met with criticism, but it appears the federal government will not be stepping in.

While the White House may not be intervening, it says they strongly oppose the mandatory quarantine for medical workers returning home.

On Monday evening, the Pentagon said dozens of Army soldiers and a two-star general are being isolated at their base in Italy after serving in West Africa to help with the Ebola fight.

No exposure incident triggered the decision, but they will be checked regularly for any Ebola symptoms over the next 21 days.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Monday called for an end to the mandatory quarantine for medical workers returning from West Africa. Moon fears it will deter medical workers from heading there at all.
