¿Peste en Siberia? Rusia busca atajar las especulaciones

Russian authorities are attempting to quell speculation regarding a potential plague outbreak in Siberia following reports that a female employee at an anti-plague center in the Irkutsk region contracted pneumonia.

While state agencies have only officially confirmed the pneumonia case, unconfirmed reports and rumors circulating for days suggest a more ominous scenario, including claims that a young laboratory worker died under suspicion of plague.
