日内瓦 — 美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥呼吁俄罗斯就近期一名鼠疫研究中心科学家的死亡事件以及该事件相关的任何风险提高“透明度”。俄罗斯当局本周就此事给出了相互矛盾的说法。
“我认为俄罗斯显然有义务向世界分享更多信息，”鲁比奥周二在抵达冰岛首都雷克雅未克进行访问后表示。此前一天，俄罗斯主要国家卫生机构否认了当地官员此前的报道，后者称这名西伯利亚实验室工作人员可能在实验室事故后死于鼠疫，且在10月1日或2日她去世后，多家卫生机构已采取抗鼠疫防控措施。
世界卫生组织周二表示，在俄罗斯远东西伯利亚地区发生该事件后，俄罗斯和欧洲的公共卫生风险被认为较低。
“根据现有信息，世卫组织初步风险评估认为，伊尔库茨克的风险为中低水平，整个俄罗斯联邦的风险为低水平，世卫组织欧洲区域的风险则极低，”联合国卫生机构发言人克里斯蒂安·林德迈尔在该机构日内瓦总部对记者表示。
林德迈尔表示，俄罗斯当局已确认这名来自伊尔库茨克抗鼠疫研究所的工作人员去世前接触过的所有人，这名28岁的达里亚·希皮洛娃均未出现与鼠疫相关的症状。
世卫组织发言人证实，希皮洛娃工作的研究所位于西伯利亚自然存在野生鼠疫动物种群的地区。
林德迈尔称，她“最初的病症表现为典型的急性呼吸道病毒感染”，但俄罗斯当局“正在调查是否为肺鼠疫导致了她的死亡”。
“世卫组织正在密切关注事态发展，与总部合作向其他国家通报情况，”他表示，并准备在俄罗斯当局提出请求时提供协助。
俄罗斯国家卫生机构消费者权益保护、公益监督局（Rospotrebnadzor）周一淡化了西伯利亚地区部分官员的报道——其中一些报道很快被从网络平台下架——这些官员称希皮洛娃在实验室事故中感染鼠疫后死亡。
该机构表示，她未被诊断为鼠疫，而是死于“病因不明的肺炎”，这意味着医生尚未确定导致她患病的确切病原体。
她在染病两天后在伊尔库茨克的一家医院去世。俄罗斯当局表示，她接受治疗的医院以及对其约200名近期密切接触者进行评估的场所随后被部分隔离封闭。他们驳斥了该地区其他多家卫生机构也出于预防措施被限制运行的报道。
消费者权益保护、公益监督局周一表示，对希皮洛娃样本的分析未发现与其工作相关的微生物——她在实验室中负责处理危险病原体。
该机构周二表示，许多接受筛查的密切接触者已获准回家。期间发现了一些感冒和流感病例，包括数例新冠病例，但未发现更严重的感染。
特朗普总统周一向记者保证，美国官员正在密切关注这一事件，并随时准备提供协助。
“我们正在密切关注此事，我们也是刚听说，”他说。“他们称之为肺炎，而肺炎，你知道的，多年前治疗起来更容易，微生物和病菌的毒性却不成比例地增强了。但我们会帮助他们。”

Geneva — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Russia to be more “transparent” about the recent death of a plague research center scientist and any risks associated with the incident, which Russian authorities have offered conflicting information about this week.
“I think it’s incumbent upon Russia to obviously share more information with the world,” Rubio said Tuesday after arriving in Iceland’s capital Reykjavik for a visit. He called on Moscow to be “transparent” a day after Russia’s primary national health agency denied earlier reports by local officials that the Siberian lab worker might have died of plague after a lab accident and that anti-plague measures were imposed at multiple health facilities in the wake of her death on Oct. 1 or 2.
The World Health Organization said Tuesday that the public health risk in Russia and Europe was considered low after the incident in Russia’s far-eastern Siberia region.
“The WHO initial risk assessment from the information available estimates the risk to be moderate to low for Irkutsk, a low risk for the Russian Federation as a whole, and very low for the WHO European region,” the United Nations health agency’s spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters at the agency’s Geneva headquarters.

Lindmeier said Russian authorities had identified all people who came into contact with the worker from the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute, who has been identified as 28-year-old Darya Shipilova, before she died and that none had symptoms associated with plague.
The center where Shipilova worked is situated in a part of Siberia where plague is found naturally in wild animal populations, the WHO spokesman confirmed.
Lindmeier said her “illness initially presented as a typical acute respiratory viral infection,” but that Russian authorities “are looking into whether pneumonic plague caused her death.”
“WHO is following the situation closely, working with headquarters to keep other countries informed,” he said, and is ready to help Russian authorities if they seek assistance.
Russia’s national health agency, Rospotrebnadzor, played down reports Monday by some officials in the Siberian region — some of which were quickly removed from online platforms — indicating that Shipilova had died after contracting plague in a lab accident.
The agency said she was not diagnosed with plague, but died of “pneumonia of unknown etiology,” suggesting doctors didn’t know the exact germ that made her sick.
She died in an Irkutsk hospital two days after contracting the illness. The hospital where she was treated, and where her roughly 200 close recent contacts were evaluated, was then partially shut down under quarantine conditions, Russian authorities said. They rejected reports that several other health facilities in the region were also put under restrictions as a precaution.

Rospotrebnadzor said Monday that an analysis of samples from Shipilova revealed no microorganisms associated with her work, which involved handling dangerous pathogens at the lab.
The agency said Tuesday that many of her close contacts, having been brought in for screening, were allowed to go back home. It said some cold and flu infections, including several COVID-19 cases, were discovered, but nothing more sinister.
President Trump assured reporters on Monday that U.S. officials were watching the case closely and stood ready to help.
“We’re looking at it very strongly, we just heard about it,” he said. “They call it pneumonia, and pneumonia, you know, years ago you could treat pneumonia easier, and the microbes and the germs have gotten stronger disproportionately. But we’ll help them.”
