The US Embassy in Moscow urged Americans in Russia to depart, reiterating the State Department’s Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory. The warning follows reports that a worker at an anti-plague research institute in Irkutsk died after a suspected pneumonic plague infection. US officials said they are monitoring the situation, but key details remain unconfirmed. Russian authorities reported no emergency at the institute, and the World Health Organization assessed the risk outside Russia as very low. The travel warning predates this health alert.
