特朗普将与普京通话谈俄罗斯鼠疫,美使馆促在俄公民立即离境

美国总统特朗普10月6日表示,他将很快与俄罗斯总统普京通话,讨论西伯利亚鼠疫实验室工作人员死亡事件,并称美方可能在周三分享更多信息。
28岁的俄罗斯鼠疫实验室技术员达里亚·希皮洛娃(Daria Shipilova)上周五在伊尔库茨克附近医院死亡,死因是"不明病因肺炎"。据报她几天前不慎打碎一支装有致命病原体的试管,可能感染了可通过呼吸道人传人的肺鼠疫。
美国驻莫斯科大使馆10月6日表示,已注意到伊尔库茨克地区疑似肺鼠疫致死及相关隔离措施的报道,并称"在俄美国公民应立即离境",美国政府在俄罗斯、尤其莫斯科以外地区帮助美国公民的能力有限。(综合《纽约邮报》等美方媒体报道)
Trump to Call Putin on Russia Plague Case; US Embassy Urges Americans to Leave Russia
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin "very soon" about the death of a plague lab technician in Siberia, adding the U.S. government may share more information Wednesday.
Daria Shipilova, 28, died Friday in a hospital outside Irkutsk of "pneumonia of unknown etiology." She reportedly broke a test tube containing a deadly pathogen days earlier and may have contracted pneumonic plague, which can spread person-to-person through respiration.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow said Tuesday it was aware of press reports of suspected pneumonic plague and associated quarantines in the Irkutsk region, adding "U.S. citizens currently in Russia should depart immediately" and noting limited U.S. ability to assist citizens in Russia, especially outside Moscow.
