@itvnews: The World Health Organization says it has contacted authorities in Russia, after the suspected death of a lab employee from pneumonic plague. The UN health agency also says the case poses "very low" risk outside of the country. The woman, 28, worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East and died last week in a hospital in Shelekhov, a town just outside Irkutsk, according to local media. ITV News Science Correspondent Martin Stew explains whether this could lead to the next covid. #covid #plague #putin #russia
