Alertă de ciumă pulmonară în Siberia: Al doilea deces investigat de OMS

The World Health Organization is investigating a potential second case of pneumonic plague in Siberia after a researcher died from exposure to Yersinia pestis. Daria Shipilova, 28, died on October 2 at an anti-plague research institute in Irkutsk. Nearly 200 individuals are under medical isolation as experts work to prevent an outbreak. The official explanation of the incident has sparked controversy, with some epidemiologists questioning the claim of an accidental exposure. Local reports mention a second possible victim with severe respiratory symptoms, but this has not been confirmed. WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has called for transparency from Russian health authorities to accurately assess public health risks.
