The World Health Organization has asked Russia for more information after reports that a second employee at a Siberian research institute developed pneumonia of undetermined cause. The inquiry follows the death of a laboratory worker in the Irkutsk region, which has fueled speculation about pneumonic plague. Russian officials say no plague case has been registered locally and report that tests of contacts found no dangerous pathogens. U.S. President Donald Trump said he planned to discuss the situation with Vladimir Putin, though the Kremlin said no call had been scheduled.
