Încă o persoană ar fi murit de ciumă în Siberia. OMS cere Rusiei explicații. Îngrijorări despre agenți patogeni modificați genetic

Concerns are rising over a potential plague outbreak in Russia following reports of a second death in Irkutsk. The WHO is actively monitoring the situation, seeking more information from Russian officials regarding the mysterious death of a researcher and a second pneumonia case linked to the laboratory. The Russian health authority claims no plague cases have been detected among those in contact with the deceased. However, the WHO emphasizes the need for transparency to assess public health risks accurately. The U.S. Embassy has issued a health alert for the region, and American officials are questioning whether the pathogen involved has been genetically modified. The situation remains tense as nearly 200 individuals are under observation due to the incident.
