Apar zvonuri despre un al doilea caz de ciumă după moartea unei cercetătoare din Siberia

The World Health Organization has requested information from Russian authorities regarding reports of a second employee at a Siberian plague research center suffering from undetermined pneumonia. This follows the death of a 28-year-old researcher from the same institute, raising concerns about a possible pneumonic plague infection. The Russian health authority stated that no plague cases were found among those who had contact with the deceased. The WHO assessed the risk as low for Russia and very low for Europe, while Russia claimed the situation is under control. Local media reported false information about strict health measures in Irkutsk, which was denied by health officials.
