The Sun reports that Russia may be concealing the true scale of a suspected plague outbreak in the Irkutsk region. According to the newspaper, a female employee of an anti-plague institute who died was initially mistaken for a COVID-19 patient and placed on a ventilator, which could have exposed medical staff to infection. The claims have drawn attention to transparency around disease outbreaks in Russia.
Why now: Fresh allegations of a deadly plague case being mishandled and covered up by Russian authorities are circulating widely.
