Worker dies at Russian plague lab; anti-epidemic measures imposed

Original: Worker at Russian plague lab dies; ‘anti-epidemic measures’ imposed

A worker at a Russian laboratory that studies plague has died, and authorities have imposed 'anti-epidemic measures' in response. Details about the cause of death and whether plague exposure was involved have not been confirmed, and officials have not said how many people may be at risk or what the containment measures involve. The incident is drawing international attention because of the lab's work with dangerous pathogens.

Why now: A death linked to a facility handling plague has raised fears of a potential pathogen leak and renewed scrutiny of biological research labs.
