莫斯科，10月7日——克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫周三表示，俄罗斯上周已按照既定程序，就西伯利亚鼠疫研究所一名实验室工作人员的死亡事件向世界卫生组织进行了通报，并指责媒体就该事件提供了虚假信息。
MOSCOW, Oct 7 - Russia informed the World Health Organization about the death of a laboratory worker at a Siberian plague research institute last week in line with established procedures, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, accusing the media of providing false information about the case.
佩斯科夫是在评论美国广播公司（ABC News）的一篇报道时作出上述表态的。该报道称，美国已就俄罗斯处理该死亡事件的方式提出正式外交抗议，敦促莫斯科提高事件的透明度。
Peskov was commenting on an ABC News report that the United States had lodged a formal diplomatic complaint over Russia's handling of the reported death, urging Moscow to provide greater transparency about the incident.
该实验室工作人员在不明情况下生病并死亡，促使当局对数十人实施隔离，并派遣俄罗斯卫生监管机构负责人前往伊尔库茨克地区。
The laboratory worker fell ill and died in undisclosed circumstances, prompting authorities to quarantine dozens of people and dispatch the head of Russia's health watchdog to the Irkutsk region.
佩斯科夫表示，围绕该事件的大部分报道都是虚假的，人们应依赖国家卫生监管机构俄罗斯消费者权益保护与人类福利监督局（Rospotrebnadzor）发布的信息。
Peskov said much of the reporting surrounding the incident was false and that people should rely on information released by state health watchdog Rospotrebnadzor.
周二，该监管机构表示，在与死者有过接触的人员中未检测到鼠疫病例，当地居民表示他们的生活几乎没有受到干扰。
On Tuesday the watchdog said that no cases of plague had been detected among anyone who had come into contact with the deceased, and locals said their lives had barely been disrupted.
佩斯科夫表示，目前尚未安排俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通话。特朗普周二表示，他将“很快”就此事与普京进行通话。
Peskov said no phone call had been scheduled at this point between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, who said on Tuesday that he would speak to Putin "very soon" about the case.
