Russia denies plague case after researcher's death in Siberia
Original: pest russland
A 28-year-old female researcher died of plague in a laboratory in eastern Siberia, but Russian authorities are denying an outbreak of the disease. German media including Tagesschau and n-tv report conflicting statements, with officials disputing that the death constitutes a plague case. The denial is drawing skepticism given the fatal laboratory accident.
Why now: Authorities' denial of a plague death after a lab accident contradicts media reports, fueling suspicion
