UE, în alertă după suspiciunea de ciumă din Rusia: Comisia Europeană cere Moscovei informații transparente despre acest caz. 200 de persoane, sub monitorizare

The European Commission is closely monitoring a potential plague outbreak in Siberia following the death of a researcher. Russia has not confirmed a pneumonic plague outbreak, but around 200 contacts are under medical surveillance. The incident was triggered by the death of a lab employee who reportedly broke a test tube containing the plague pathogen. The EU is in contact with health experts and is seeking more information through the WHO. The situation is being watched carefully, but no special measures have been announced yet. The Commission emphasizes the importance of timely reporting and is prepared for any health crisis, drawing on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic.
