Rubio calls on Russia to be more open about plague lab worker's death
Geneva — U.S.
AI Summary
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Russia to increase transparency regarding the death of a scientist at a plague research center and any related risks. Rubio made the appeal while in Reykjavik, Iceland, after Russia’s main health agency contradicted earlier local reports that the Siberian lab worker might have died from plague following a lab accident. The agency also denied that anti‑plague measures were imposed at multiple health facilities after the worker’s death on Oct. 1 or 2. Rubio said the request reflects the need for Russia to share more information with the world.
