Font size

美國國務卿馬可·盧比奧(Marco Rubio 魯比奧)敦促俄羅斯公佈更多關於西伯利亞一家鼠疫研究中心實驗室工作人員死亡的資訊。

這起事件引發了人們對這位28歲女子死亡情況的各種猜測。

俄羅斯官員表示,他們仍在調查死因,但所有與死者接觸過的人的肺鼠疫檢測結果均為陰性。

「我認為俄羅斯顯然有義務與世界分享更多信息,」盧比奧告訴記者。 我們正在密切關注事態發展,每小時都在關注。」

週五首次有報道稱,在西伯利亞伊爾庫茨克(Irkutsk)地區,近 200 人因這起死亡事件而被置於觀察狀態。

據俄羅斯媒體報道,這名實驗室工作人員名叫達里婭·希皮洛娃(Darya Shipilova),據稱她在幾天前就生病了。

未經證實的報道稱,她是在打破裝有病原體的試管後生病的,或者是在前在野生囓齒動物活動的野外實地考察後生病的。

但是,俄羅斯官方淡化了這些報告。該國衛生監管機構Rospotrebnadzor表示,這名女子死於「病因不明的肺炎」。

世界衛生組織(WHO)發言人克里斯蒂安·林德邁爾(Christian Lindmeier)週二宣讀了一份聲明,聲明中稱俄羅斯表示:「伊爾庫茨克市尚未記錄到這種危險疾病的病例。」

但根據全球衛生規則,俄羅斯有義務向世衛組織報告疫情。

俄羅斯的聲明還補充說:「據報道,所有患者的密切接觸者都已被確定,並正在接受疾病監測,迄今為止,尚無人出現疾病症狀。」

週二,持續不斷的猜測引發了俄羅斯和美國之間的爭論,人們質疑疫情是否可能蔓延到俄羅斯境外。

盧比奧在訪問冰島期間表示,如果俄羅斯的局勢比聲稱的更加嚴重,美國將採取「措施」來幫助俄羅斯。

對此,俄羅斯聯邦消費者權益保護與福利監督局(Rospotrebnadzor)隨即向美國表示願意提供協助。

該機構在一份聲明中表示:「俄羅斯聯邦準備協助美國對抗傳染病疫情。」

盧比奧的評論得到了美國總統特朗普(Donald Trump 川普)的回應,後者表示他正在「非常密切地」關注此案。

根據《華盛頓郵報》報道,美國疾病管制與預防中心、國務院、戰略防範與應變管理局正在製定美國的應對措施。

在盧比奧發表演說後,有人問及這起死亡事件,克里姆林宮發言人德米特里·佩斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)引用了俄羅斯消費者權益保護和福利監督局的調查結果。

當被問及美國提供的援助時,他說「互助是一件好事」。

週二,俄羅斯聯邦消費者權益保護和福利監督局也跟進發表聲明,旨在平息網上流傳的一份文件中有關據稱俄國已開始採取「特殊防疫措施」的猜測。

「我們想澄清,相關文件和資訊並非來自官方管道,而且是不真實的,」該機構在Telegram 上表示。

事實上,鼠疫桿菌(耶爾森氏鼠疫桿菌)曾在14 世紀造成歐洲一半人口死亡,當時被稱為黑死病。在該地區的囓齒動物(如土撥鼠)中就發現了這種細菌。

100多年前,為了回應 20世紀20年代爆發的瘟疫,西伯利亞和遠東地區抗疫研究所成立了。

英國雷丁大學細胞微生物學副教授克拉克博士(Simon Clarke)告訴 BBC廣播4台的稱,鼠疫耶爾森菌引起的肺鼠疫(Yersinia pestis)如果不及時治療幾乎總是致命的,但可以用抗生素治療。

National Day Return Reminder: When sitting for long distances, pay attention to these signals from your body →

On the last day of the National Day holiday, many people embark on their return journey. Long-distance driving or riding can easily cause health problems such as back pressure, blood vessel blockage, bladder overload, inactive gastrointestinal function, and disabled legs and feet. You need to be especially alert to numbness, weakness, local discomfort, leg swelling, and other danger signs that may indicate blood clots or nerve compression. The article reminds you to follow the five-word principle of "move, drink, wear, take medicine, and rest": move your lower limbs every 1-2 hours, replenish water in small amounts and multiple times, wear loose clothes, take medicine on time and rest in time. It emphasizes that health does not have a "return ticket" and safety is more important than arriving in advance.
