We are learning more this week after reports that the U.S. State Department is monitoring a suspected fatal pneumonic plague case in Russia. The State Department is also urging Moscow to share accurate information as details remain unconfirmed. A State Department official told Fox News that the U.S. is aware of reports of a death in Irkutsk Oblast, a region in southeastern Siberia, and is watching the situation closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies. LiveNOW’s Andy Mac is speaking with epidemiologist Dr. Céline Gounder, as we continue to determine what comes next as Russian authorities reveal what they know.
