Conflicting information about the death of a lab worker at a Russian plague research institute has fueled fears about the possibility of pneumonic plague spreading. |
Nearly 200 people are in quarantine in Siberia after 28-year-old Darya Shipilova fell ill at work and later died on October 2. |
The exact circumstances of her death are unknown. A senior Russian official posted on social media last week that Shipilova “had died from the plague”—before editing the post to add “possibly.” Russia’s health watchdog has since stated she died from “pneumonia of unknown etiology.” |
