HealthWHO says Russia’s epidemic risk is low after lab technician’s death
The World Health Organization says it has found no sign of a wider outbreak since Darya Shipilova, a laboratory technician at a plague research institute in Siberia, died last week. Russian officials are investigating whether viral pneumonic plague caused her death. WHO rates the risk as moderate to low in Irkutsk, low elsewhere in Russia and very low in Europe.
