Russia quarantines hospitals amid plague fears | Break the Fake

A terrifying health scare is unfolding in Siberia, where authorities are dealing with a suspected outbreak of pneumonic plague. The alarm began after a 28-year-old employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute died from pneumonia of unknown origin.
 
Soon afterward, several hospitals were placed under quarantine, visits were restricted, masks became mandatory in some workplaces, and nearly 200 people who had contact with the woman were placed under medical observation.
 
Russian authorities insist there is no confirmed plague infection. But doctors are reportedly discussing pneumonic plague, while the sudden quarantines and growing public concern are raising questions about what is really happening.
