Rubio tells Russia to share more information about plague death
The death of a laboratory worker at Siberia's plague research centre sparked health fears after dozens were placed in quarantine.
Reykjavik, Iceland - Russian authorities have yet to provide the US with sufficient information regarding the death of a plague laboratory worker, prompting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to call for more transparency. The incident, which occurred at a research institute in Siberia, has raised public health concerns and prompted authorities to quarantine dozens of people.
Russian officials have assured that the situation is under control, but Rubio stated that the US is closely monitoring the situation "hour by hour." He emphasized the importance of Russia sharing more information with the world about the circumstances surrounding the worker's death. The US is prepared to offer assistance if the situation escalates beyond the current acknowledgment.
President Donald Trump has scheduled a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the matter, with both sides engaged in "very deep discussions."
