Focar de ciumă în Rusia: 5 spitale în carantină. Ambulanțele care transportă persoane suspecte de boală sunt însoțite de agenți FSB
In Irkutsk, Siberia, three public hospitals, a maternity ward, and a children's hospital have been quarantined following a plague case that resulted in a woman's death. Workers at a local aluminum plant are required to wear masks as a precaution. Medical professionals are openly discussing the plague, and restrictions have been enforced in hospitals. The deceased, a 27-year-old lab technician, contracted pneumonic plague from a broken test tube after returning from a trip to Buryatia, where an outbreak was reported. Approximately 200 individuals who had contact with her are now in quarantine, and ambulances transporting them were accompanied by FSB teams.
