俄罗斯当局周二告知世界卫生组织（WHO），西伯利亚伊尔库茨克州“未记录任何鼠疫病例”，此前有报道称一名实验室工作人员死于疑似肺鼠疫。
Russian authorities told the World Health Organization (WHO) Tuesday that “no cases of plague” have been recorded in the Irkutsk Oblast region of Siberia, according to the UN health agency, after reports that a lab worker had died of possible pneumonic plague.
然而，世卫组织表示，俄罗斯官员尚未告知该机构导致该实验室工作人员死亡的病原体是什么。
However, the WHO says Russian officials have not yet told the agency what the pathogen that killed the lab worker is.
世卫组织表示：“世卫组织知悉媒体报道，俄罗斯联邦伊尔库茨克州一名实验室工作人员死于疑似肺鼠疫，近200名其密切接触者正在接受医学观察和检测。”
“WHO is aware of media reports that a laboratory worker in Irkutsk oblast, in the Russian Federation, died of suspected pneumonic plague, and that nearly 200 of her contacts were under medical observation and being tested,” the WHO said.
“10月3日，世卫组织根据《国际卫生条例》（IHR）向俄罗斯当局请求其掌握的进一步信息，以便我们评估风险。《国际卫生条例》要求各国在24小时内确认收到世卫组织的请求，并在48小时内提供更多公共卫生信息。”
“On 3 October, WHO asked the Russian authorities under the International Health Regulations (IHR) for any further information they had, so we could assess the risk. The IHR asks countries to respond within 24 hours acknowledging WHO’s request and then provide additional public health information within 48 hours.”
声明继续称：“俄罗斯当局于10月6日回复，告知世卫组织，该女子的疾病最初表现为典型的急性呼道病毒感染，且伊尔库茨克州未记录任何鼠疫病例，无论是她本人还是其他人。”
The statement continued: “The Russian authorities replied on 6 October and told WHO that the woman’s illness first looked like a typical acute respiratory viral infection, and that no case of plague has been recorded in Irkutsk, either in her or in anyone else.”
“世卫组织已请求俄罗斯提供更多信息，说明导致该女子死亡的肺炎致病病原体。世卫组织正在密切关注事态发展，及时通报其他国家，并随时准备在俄罗斯当局提出要求时提供支持。” 此番更新发布前几小时，俄罗斯卫生官员表示已采取全方位预防措施——包括追踪死者密切接触者、医学监测和实验室检测。
“WHO has requested additional information from Russia on which pneumonia-causing pathogen led to the woman’s death. WHO is following the situation closely, keeping other countries informed, and ready to support the Russian authorities if they ask.”The update comes hours after Russian health officials said a full range of preventive measures had been carried out — including tracing of the deceased woman’s contacts, medical monitoring and lab tests.
“检测结果显示，所有密切接触者均未检出危险传染病病原体，”俄罗斯当局的声明称，该声明由世卫组织转交给美联社。
Get weekly health news“Test results showed no presence of dangerous infectious disease pathogens in any of the contacts,” said the note from Russian authorities, which was relayed to The Associated Press by WHO.
加拿大公共卫生局周一晚间告诉《环球新闻》，“目前尚未发现加拿大面临的风险”，并且正在“密切监视事态发展”。这名实验室工作人员是一名28岁的女性，她在伊尔库茨克城外谢莱霍夫镇的一家医院去世。其市长本周早些时候表示，该医院已被隔离，俄罗斯国家公共卫生监管机构的官员已前往该地区。
The Public Health Agency of Canada told Global News Monday evening that “at this time, no risk to Canada has been identified” and that it was “closely monitoring the situation.”The lab worker, a 28-year-old woman, died at a hospital in Shelekhov, a town just outside the city of Irkutsk. Its mayor said earlier this week that the hospital was placed under quarantine, and officials from Russia’s national public health watchdog travelled to the region.
据美联社和路透社报道，伊尔库茨克州州长伊戈尔·科布泽夫周一没有确认这种疾病，但表示这是一起“一种特别危险的感染”疑似病例，后来称其为“病因不明的肺炎”。
On Monday, Irkutsk Oblast Gov. Igor Kobzev did not identify the illness but said it was a suspected case of “a particularly dangerous infection,” later calling it “pneumonia of unknown etiology,” the Associated Press and Reuters reported.
世卫组织发言人克里斯蒂安·林德迈尔周二在联合国简报会上表示，这名妇女工作的研究所“研究危险的病原体”，包括西伯利亚部分地区的鼠疫，那里的疾病“自然发生在野生动物身上”。他表示，俄罗斯官员尚未要求世卫组织专家部署到俄罗斯，俄罗斯已确定伊尔库茨克的健康风险为中至低;整个俄罗斯联邦的风险较低;世卫组织欧洲地区的风险非常低。美国唐纳德·特朗普总统周一表示，他正在关注事态发展。美国国务卿马可·卢比奥敦促俄罗斯当局分享更多信息。
WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told a UN briefing on Tuesday that the institute where the woman worked “studies dangerous pathogens,” including plague in a part of Siberia where the disease “occurs naturally in wild animals.”He said Russian officials have not yet asked for WHO experts to deploy to Russia, which had determined that health risks were moderate-to-low for Irkutsk; a low risk for the Russian Federation as a whole; and very low for the WHO European region. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he was watching the situation. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Russian authorities to share more information.
“也许那里什么也没有。也许它比我们想象的要大。我们不知道，”他在冰岛的新闻发布会上说。“我们正在非常密切地关注它，我认为整个世界都在非常密切地关注它。”加拿大卫生部长马乔里·米歇尔周一表示，“加拿大没有风险”。
“Maybe there’s nothing there. Maybe it’s bigger than we thought. We don’t know,” he said at a news conference in Iceland. “We’re watching it very closely, and I think the whole world is watching it very closely.”Canadian Health Minister Marjorie Michel said on Monday that there is “no risk for Canada.”
