Hospitals in Irkutsk quarantined after plague death
Original: На росії закривають лікарні на карантин після випадку чуми. Щонайменше три лікарні Іркутська, а також дитяча лікарня зап
At least three hospitals in Irkutsk, Russia, including a children's hospital, have imposed a 21-day quarantine following a confirmed plague case. The measures come after the death of Daria Shpilova, a 28-year-old researcher at a local anti-plague institute, who reportedly broke a vial containing the plague pathogen. The incident has raised concerns about laboratory safety and a possible outbreak.
Why now: A laboratory accident killing a researcher and triggering hospital quarantines has revived fears of a plague outbreak.
