WHO report on Russian lab worker death highlights "key uncertainty"
摘要
世界卫生组织发布报告，关注俄罗斯一名传染病研究人员死亡事件。报告指出，俄方尚未确认死因，这一关键不确定性使世卫组织无法评估事件风险及俄方公共卫生措施是否足以防止未知疾病传播。世卫组织表示，目前未发现该神秘疾病持续传播的证据，但因缺乏确诊的病原学诊断，且暴露来源和方式仍不明确，评估信心有限。世卫组织称其于10月2日通过媒体报道才获悉此事，随后于10月3日、6日
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.
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.
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.
