„Cât mai repede posibil”. UE cere Moscovei informații suplimentare privind cazul de ciumă din Siberia

The European Commission is urging Russia to provide more information regarding the death of a researcher from a plague institute in Siberia. Concerns arose after the employee died from severe pneumonia, with speculation about pneumonic plague as the cause. The EU is coordinating with the WHO to monitor the situation, while Russia claims there is no risk of an outbreak. The WHO is awaiting further details from Russia, as the pathogen responsible for the pneumonia remains unidentified. The EU has strategic health reserves, including antibiotics for plague treatment, and has invested significantly in health stockpiles across Europe.
