Ambasada SUA le cere cetățenilor americani să părăsească imediat Rusia din cauza cazului de ciumă

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued a health alert for American citizens following a suspected case of pneumonic plague in Irkutsk, which resulted in one death. The embassy reiterated its travel warning for Russia, urging citizens to adhere to local health guidelines. Reports indicate that nearly 200 individuals are under quarantine due to potential exposure. While Russian health authorities initially downplayed the situation, the extensive preventive measures have raised international concern. Pneumonic plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, is highly contagious and can be fatal without prompt antibiotic treatment. The U.S. government has limited capacity to assist citizens in Russia, especially outside Moscow, and continues to monitor the situation closely.
