Plague outbreak in Siberia: what is known so far
After the laboratory technician’s death, nearly 200 people who may have had contact with the woman were hospitalized. Some of them developed symptoms.
According to the publication “Lyudi Baikala,” ambulances are being accompanied by FSB officers.
The Shelekhov hospital was closed for quarantine. People in protective suits, masks, and gloves were spotted on the city’s streets.
The epidemic could spread across Russia. Due to one person’s banal mistake, there is a risk of a new major plague pandemic.
