Evaluarea OMS privind riscul de ciumă în Europa după moartea unei laborante la Irkuțk

The WHO is assessing the risk of plague in Europe following the death of a lab technician in Irkutsk, Russia. Initial evaluations indicate a moderate to low risk in Irkutsk and a very low risk across Europe. The technician, Daria Shipilova, reportedly fell ill after a lab incident, but Russian authorities downplay the contamination risk. Post-mortem tests showed no infectious agents related to her work. The WHO is in contact with Russian health authorities to verify the circumstances and offer assistance.
