More than 350 Australian doctors and nurses have volunteered to fight Ebola in west Africa.

A NEW YORK doctor stricken with Ebola is feeling so good, he's been rocking out to his favourite music, strumming a banjo and exercising in his isolation unit at Bellevue Hospital, sources told The New York Post.

"It's super hilarious. Everyone says the doctor is a total hipster!" said a source of Dr Craig Spencer, 33, noting that he's also been doing yoga.

Dr Spencer plays David Bowie and '90s indie band Interpol around the clock to the point that nurses "keep asking what that god awful music coming from his room is," the source said.

The Doctors Without Borders physician, who's been in isolation since his October 23 diagnosis, has also been using a stationary bike for exercise — when he's not plucking a banjo gifted to him by a hospital staffer, sources said.

"He is an avid little banjo player and he's self-taught," Chriselle Gardner, the mother of Dr Spencer's fiancee Morgan Dixon, told The Post. "I can tell you, he's keeping his doctors amused."

She added: "He's kicking Ebola's butt — literally. He's going to be getting out soon."

Dr Spencer remains in stable condition and is receiving "treatment," city Health Department officials said Wednesday. His condition was upgraded last weekend.

Ms Dixon and a friend of Dr Spencer were quarantined immediately following the doctor's diagnosis.

While Dixon remains under home quarantine, the friend's "daily movements in New York City will no longer be restricted," health officials said Wednesday.

Still, the friend — who officials said isn't showing any symptoms — will be assessed twice a day by Health Department staff out of an abundance of caution, sources said.
