Darya Shipilova is said to have been exposed to the pathogen while working at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia
Hundreds of people have been placed into quarantine in Siberia after a laboratory worker died of suspected plague, according to reports.
Darya Shipilova, an employee at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, was exposed to the bacteria after she accidentally broke a test tube containing the pathogen while she was collecting samples, the Kyiv Independent reported.
She was hospitalised on 29 September with severe pneumonia of "unknown origin” and placed on a ventilator, but died shortly after.
Independent Russian outlet Lyudi Baikal reported that several hospitals in the city of Irkutsk had closed for a three-week quarantine.
Uh, it hasn’t stopped.
We have dozens of ongoing pandemics. We haven’t had a new and notable pandemic in 6.5 years. Just the same flus and colds and uhhh measles? And whooping cough and-
Those are all endemic at this point.
Pandemic is characterized by fast, unpredictable spread across many international regions.
Hey, bud, what do you think that makes Covid?
Hey, bud.
I’d say that makes it endemic. It has been for a couple of years now.
