Russian Plague Scare: WHO Seeks Details About Reported Second Illness As Trump Plans Putin Call
In a lengthy statement on X, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the WHO has sought further details on the "cause of the severe pneumonia" in the researcher who died and the "pathogen that prompted the public health measures."
The WHO chief also said the global health body has sought details on "reports of a second employee with pneumonia of undetermined cause," a likely reference to some unverified reports by Russian outlets about a second case.
