Ciuma din Siberia, pericol pentru români? Ce zice șeful Spitalului de Boli Infecțioase de pericolul extinderii • Newsweek România

Concerns about the plague resurfaced after a technician's death in Siberia. Dr. Florin Roșu reassured that the risk of spread to Romania is very low. The World Health Organization confirmed no cases of pneumonic plague, and preventive measures are in place for those exposed. Plague transmission occurs mainly through infected fleas or direct contact with infected animals. Symptoms vary by type, with bubonic plague being the most common. Modern antibiotics can effectively treat the disease if administered promptly. Dr. Roșu emphasized that there is no current risk in Romania, and citizens should not panic.
