Russian Lab Worker Death: Suspected Plague Outbreak Denied, Cause Unclear

Russian authorities deny a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak and a lab leak origin, despite reporting a lab worker's death to the WHO. The WHO confirms the death but states no plague case has been registered and no active transmission detected, though the cause of death remains undisclosed and unconfirmed. This lack of transparency raises concerns about biosafety and potential concealment, but no confirmed outbreak exists.
