世界卫生组织（WHO）周一表示，尽管该设施的一名研究人员据报因肺霍乱去世，但伊尔库茨克西伯利亚研究反霍乱研究所暂未发现进一步感染迹象。
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday there were no further signs of infections at the Irkutsk Research Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia, following one researcher at the facility reportedly dying from the pneumonic plague.
俄罗斯当局在回复世卫组织的正式请求时表示：“俄罗斯联邦伊尔库茨克市暂未记录到这种危险疾病的病例。”
“No case of this dangerous disease has been recorded in the city of Irkutsk, Russian Federation,” Russian authorities said in an official response to a WHO request, according to Reuters.
世卫组织在向《希尔》的合作伙伴新闻国（News Nation）发表声明时表示：“据报，所有患者的接触者均已被确认身份并正在接受监控，至今尚未出现任何疾病症状。”世卫组织称，早期检测结果“据报均为阴性”，但尚不清楚检测针对的是哪些病原体。
In a separate statement to The Hill’s partner, News Nation, WHO said, “all of the patient’s contacts have reportedly been identified and are being monitored for illness, and none to date have shown symptoms of illness.”Early testing results “to date are reportedly negative” but it was “unclear for which pathogens” they were tested.
该组织补充道：“根据现有的非正式信息，公众健康风险对普通人群似乎较低。一旦获得更多信息，风险评估将会更新。”
“Based on unofficial information available, the public health risk to the general population appears to be low. The risk assessment will be updated once more information is available,” it added.
世卫组织周五表示，据报，一名年近30岁的女性在俄罗斯因“严重肺炎”去世，同时该机构表示尚未确认死因。
On Friday, a woman in her late 20s “died of severe pneumonia” in Russia, according to the WHO, citing other reports. The agency stated that no cause of death has been confirmed.
俄罗斯当局正在调查肺霍乱是否导致该名研究人员死亡，因为这家西伯利亚研究所曾研究包括霍乱在内的多种危险病原体。该地区野生动物中也可能自然发生霍乱。
Authorities are investigating whether pneumonic plague caused the researcher’s death, as the research institute in Siberia studied dangerous pathogens, including plague. In the region, plague can also naturally occur in wild animals.
世卫组织证实，尚未通过《国际卫生条例（IHR）》渠道正式收到有关此事的通知，但该机构认为这可能是因为俄罗斯正在确定该事件是否属于应报告的类别。
WHO confirmed it had not “received a formal notification about this through [International Health Regulations (IHR)] channels” though the agency believes this may be because Russia is determining whether the event falls under the notifiable categories.
世卫组织上周六向俄罗斯当局就此事提出信息请求，根据IHR条例，这赋予俄罗斯24小时作出回应的时间。目前尚不清楚俄罗斯是否已回应世卫组织的请求。
WHO requested information from Russian authorities on the incident on Saturday, which under the IHR, gives Russia 24 hours to respond. It is unclear if Russia has responded to the WHO’s request.
美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周二对记者表示，他认为俄罗斯有责任提供更多关于那名死者所在实验室的信息。不过鲁比奥也指出，对病情发展趋势妄加推测是不负责任的行为。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday he believed its “incumbent” on Russia to share more information on the laboratory where someone died. Rubio did add it’s “irresponsible” to speculate on how the illness will progress.
特朗普政府正在密切关注俄罗斯发生的这起事件，并同样敦促俄方当局公布更多相关信息。目前，美国政府正与美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）及其他相关机构密切合作。
The Trump administration is monitoring the case in Russia and similarly encouraged Russian authorities to share further information on the incident. It is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other interagency partners.
据美国疾病控制与预防中心介绍，肺鼠疫“是一种极为罕见且常致死的传染病，可通过感染耶尔森氏鼠疫杆菌的动物或患者的呼吸道飞沫传播。”
According to the CDC, pneumonic plague “is a rare and often fatal disease that can be transmitted by respiratory droplets from animals or persons infected with Yersinia pestis bacteria.”
