The Russian authorities claim that they are providing the international community with full information about the death of an employee in a Siberian laboratory, suspected of plague, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has not. � possesses the "full picture" of the situation. That is why the organization is not able to "comprehensively assess the risks", said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the WHO. "Timely, full and transparent exchange of information is very important to clarify conflicting news and correctly assess possible risks to the population," he added. To this day, the WHO does not know how Darya Shipilova, an employee of the Irkutsk branch of the Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia and the Far East, was infected, especially how and with what virus, the organization's Epidemics and Pandemics noted. Mrs. Maria Van Kerkkhoven. He asked the question that if pneumonic plague is excluded (as the Russian authorities claim), then "what did the employee actually die of?" On Wednesday, "Rospotrebnadzor" reported that it "provided information on the situation" to WHO "in accordance with international medical and sanitary rules". The press service of the department stated that "WHO has published its position that there are no sanitary-epidemic risks in relation to the case of out-of-hospital pneumonia registered in Irkutsk." Tedros, however, emphasized that he wants to get additional clarifications regarding the unconfirmed news circulating in the media that allegedly "another employee was infected with pneumonia of unknown origin". "We are analyzing all the alarms received from local residents. We have asked Russia for a comment in this regard and we are waiting for a response," he said. According to local information, the authorities have imposed a strict quarantine in the laboratory of Shelekhov city. During the entire testing period, the employees remained locked in the institute's building for three days, sleeping on the floor and on chairs.

Darya died on the night of October 1-2 in Shelekhov regional hospital. The mother, being a medical worker, described the hypothesis of a broken test tube and the resulting infection as a "disgusting lie and stupidity". "Even not all doctors realize that it is impossible to break a test tube. Even if you throw it against the wall with all your might. Only a dilettante can say such a thing. Even just theoretically, it is simply impossible to spill or break it. They are extremely reliably protected." "Rospotrebnadzor" informed that as a result of the inspections of the biological safety norms control committee at the institute, "no accidents were recorded while working with pathogenic microorganisms". This conclusion was also confirmed by the "expert commission, which was sent to the institute on the instructions of Anna Popova, head of "Rospotrebnadzor".
