在周末，世界卫生组织发布了一份关于本月早些时候一名俄罗斯传染病研究员死亡事件的疾病暴发报告，指出俄罗斯尚未报告确认的死亡原因。面对这一“关键不确定性”，该联合国卫生机构表示，仍无法评估该事件的风险，也无法判断俄罗斯采取的公共卫生措施是否足以防止未知疾病的传播。
Over the weekend, the World Health Organization released a disease outbreak report on the events surrounding the death of a Russian infectious disease researcher earlier this month, highlighting that Russia has yet to report a confirmed cause of death. With that "key uncertainty," the United Nations health agency said it remains impossible to assess the risk of the event or whether the public health measures Russia took were adequate to prevent spread of the unknown disease.
世卫组织报告称，迄今为止尚未发现该神秘疾病持续传播的证据。该机构在报告中写道：“然而，由于缺乏确认的病因诊断，以及对来源和暴露方式的剩余不确定性，评估的可信度仍受限制。”
The WHO reported that, so far, it has seen no evidence of ongoing transmission of the mystery disease. "However, confidence in the assessment remains limited by the absence of a confirmed etiological diagnosis, and the remaining uncertainty regarding the source and mode of exposure," the agency wrote in its report.
该机构列出了信息从俄罗斯当局逐步泄露的事件顺序，指出其仅在10月2日通过媒体报道得知该死亡事件。世卫组织随后于10月3日、6日、7日和8日与俄罗斯当局取得联系并请求信息。
The agency laid out the order of events as information trickled out from Russian authorities, noting that it only became aware of the death via media reports on October 2. The WHO subsequently made contact with Russian authorities and requested information on October 3, 6, 7, and 8.
