WHO presses Russia for details on plague institute worker's death

Original: WHO presses Russia for details on plague institute worker's death, Kremlin turns on media

The World Health Organization is asking Russia for detailed information about the death of a worker at a Russian plague research institute, while the Kremlin has responded by criticising the media for its coverage of the case. The incident has drawn attention to research facilities handling dangerous pathogens and to Russia's transparency about health incidents. Details about how the worker died remain limited, and international health officials are still seeking answers.

Why now: Fears about possible exposure to plague and the opacity surrounding a death at a pathogen research facility are driving global concern.
