Senior US doctor issues warning about potential Russian plague outbreak
In Russia, after the death, the laboratory assistants introduced quarantine restrictions, although the plague is not officially confirmed. Meanwhile, experts assess the risk of possible spread of a dangerous infection outside the Russian Federation.
A researcher at a Russian plague laboratory recently died from an unexplained pneumonia. All contacts have been tested, and the ward where the patient was treated has been isolated. This suspected pneumonic plague incident has drawn attention from the United States, the European Union, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDPC) has commented on the possibility of the spread of plague in Latvia due to the alarming news about the appearance of pneumonic plague in Russia.
The risk of the international spread of plague, including in Latvia, is assessed as very low even if a possible case of plague in Russia were laboratory confirmed, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) estimates.
