US officials seek details of reported Russian plague deaths, quarantines
The Trump administration is closely monitoring reports of a possible pneumonic plague-related death in Russia, with officials warning that the situation remains largely unknown.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Department, the Strategic Preparedness and Response Administration and other agencies have been working to learn more about the reported death of a laboratory worker who was employed at an institute dedicated to studying plague and quarantines imposed at several hospitals in Siberia, four officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal briefings.
