Russia lifts sanitary measures after suspected pneumonic outbreak in Irkutsk; WHO urges transparency

Rospotrebnadzor concluded all sanitary measures on Thursday after a suspected pneumonic outbreak in Irkutsk, Siberia, with over 5,500 tests showing no infectious disease. The WHO has called for greater transparency from Russia regarding the event. The situation appears contained, but the WHO's request suggests lingering uncertainty about the outbreak's nature and response.
