The world is yet to fully recover from the earlier Covid pandemic, which created significant disruption to public movement and also mobilisation. Thousands of people have lost their lives due to the Covid virus as this turned out to be one of the worst medical emergencies in recent decades.

Now there is something significant happening in Russia as the latest developments are suggesting that there is another virus outbreak here.

According to the latest developments from the international media reports, 28-year-old lab technician Darya Shipilova, died yesterday after breaking a test tube with live Yersinia pestis at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute on September 25th while handling samples.

A mask mandate has now been introduced at the huge aluminium plant in Irkutsk and a few U.S. politicians are now calling for commercial air travel to and from Russia to be stopped until the situation is clarified.

This first symptoms of pneumonic plague typically start about 4 to 7 days after exposure. 200 people are under observation. Further medical assessment will be completed shortly, and the actual impact of the virus will be established accordingly.

Meanwhile, several hospitals were immediately placed under quarantine for three weeks. Strict restrictions have been introduced in the hospitals: patients are not allowed to leave, and visits from relatives are prohibited.

The company management, for its part, claims that the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the Irkutsk region is stable. But there are still doubts and concerns about the actual outbreak, and people are patiently waiting for an official update from the authorities.
