A 28-year-old woman working at a plague research institute in Irkutsk, Russia, died from severe pneumonia, sparking concerns about a potential plague outbreak. While initial reports suggested she may have contracted the disease in a lab accident, subsequent tests found no evidence of plague or other high-threat pathogens. The World Health Organization (WHO) rated the risk as moderate to low in Irkutsk and low for Russia overall. Chinese cities near the border have implemented preventive measures due to the incident.
