10月7日——世界卫生组织周三表示，已要求俄罗斯提供关于西伯利亚一家鼠疫研究所工作人员死亡事件的更多信息，并称透明度对于明确潜在的健康风险至关重要。
Oct 7 - The World Health Organization said on Wednesday it had requested more information from Russia about what killed a plague institute worker in Siberia, saying transparency was vital to get a clear picture of potential health risks.
俄罗斯当局称，这名28岁的实验室工作人员于周五死于一种尚未查明病因的肺炎。该事件引发了国际社会的担忧，包括美国总统唐纳德·特朗普也对此表示关注，最初约有200人被隔离。
Russian authorities say the 28-year-old laboratory worker died on Friday from pneumonia of an as-yet unestablished origin, in a case that prompted international concern, including from US President Donald Trump, and which saw around 200 people initially placed in quarantine.
俄罗斯卫生监管机构周二表示，在与死者达里娅·希皮洛娃（Darya Shipilova）有过接触的人员中，未发现鼠疫病例。当地一名官员称，60%的被隔离人员已经解除隔离。
Russia's health watchdog said on Tuesday that no cases of plague had been detected among anyone who had come into contact with the deceased worker, Darya Shipilova, and a local official said that 60% of those placed in quarantine had been released.
但位于日内瓦的世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在社交平台X上发表声明称，世卫组织需要俄罗斯提供更多信息，以全面了解所发生的情况。
But Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the WHO in Geneva, said in a statement on X that his organisation needed more information from Russia to fully understand what had happened.
他说：“世卫组织已要求提供进一步信息，以澄清导致严重肺炎的病因、引发公共卫生措施的病原体，以及媒体关于第二名员工患有不明原因肺炎的报道。”
"WHO has requested further information to clarify the cause of the severe pneumonia, the pathogen that prompted the public health measures, and media reports of a second employee with pneumonia of undetermined cause," he said.
“根据《国际卫生条例》进行及时、完整和透明的信息共享，对于澄清相互矛盾的报道并准确评估潜在的公共卫生风险至关重要。”一些西方媒体援引未具名的“俄罗斯媒体”报道称，西伯利亚有第二人死亡，并称其死于鼠疫。路透社无法在俄罗斯媒体中找到此类报道，也未发现西伯利亚有第二人死亡的证据。
"Timely, complete and transparent information sharing under the International Health Regulations is essential to clarify conflicting reports and enable an accurate assessment of potential public health risks." Some Western media outlets have reported - citing unnamed "Russian media" - that a second person in Siberia had died, saying they had died of plague. Reuters was unable to find any such stories in Russian media or any evidence that a second person in Siberia had died.
尽管如此，谭德塞要求提供更多信息的呼吁与美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥的立场一致，鲁比奥此前曾表示，莫斯科需要分享更多关于该事件的信息。
Nonetheless, Tedros' call for more information echoed that of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio who has said Moscow needs to share more information about the incident.
尽管俄罗斯卫生监管机构表示，希皮洛娃在感染肺炎后死亡，但该机构并未公开说明肺炎的病因及其发病过程。肺炎的成因多种多样，包括鼠疫。
While Russia's health watchdog has said that Shipilova died after contracting pneumonia, it has not publicly explained what caused it or how she fell ill. Pneumonia can have a variety of causes, including plague.
