OMS declară că nu are „imaginea completă” privind ciuma din Siberia. Organizația așteaptă un „schimb transparent de informații” din partea Rusiei
The WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that he lacks complete information regarding plague cases in Siberia, emphasizing the need for transparent data from Russia. Darya Shipilova, an employee at an anti-plague research institute, died shortly after showing cold-like symptoms, with reports suggesting a workplace accident as a possible cause. Russian authorities denied any connection to the institute, attributing her death to unknown pneumonia. Despite claiming no epidemic threat, Russia imposed strict quarantine measures at the laboratory. Ghebreyesus called for timely information sharing to assess public health risks accurately, while the Kremlin downplayed the incident and rejected U.S. assistance offers.
