Russia Quarantines Hundreds After Death at Siberian Plague Research Institute
About 200 people who had contact with a female laboratory worker who died in Siberia have been quarantined, as Russian officials say they have found no evidence she was infected with plague. The woman, 28-year-old Darya Shipilova, worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute and died last week with suspected pneumonic plague, though post-mortem tests showed no signs of the disease. The incident has raised global concern, with the US saying it is monitoring the situation.
