U.S., WHO press Russia for details on possible plague case
The Trump administration and international health authorities are asking Russia to provide more information about an unconfirmed case of the plague.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the head of the World Health Organization called for “timely, complete and transparent information sharing” regarding the death of a lab worker in Siberia last week.
Russian authorities have been relatively tight-lipped on the matter, though they did say today that there’s no risk of an epidemic and that they’ve shared the latest information on the case with the WHO.
