HealthThe world is watching a possible plague outbreak in Russia. Is it really serious?

A researcher at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute may have died of plague, but the case is unconfirmed. The WHO assesses the risk as low for people in Russia and very low in Europe; Russian authorities have quarantined and are monitoring the deceased researcher’s contacts. The report says international concern appears to center more on the lack of clear official information from Russia.
