Authorities in Russia's Irkutsk region have imposed a quarantine after a resident was suspected of contracting what officials described as an "especially dangerous infection," according to a report by Kommersant.
Irkutsk Governor Igor Kobzev convened an extraordinary meeting of the region's sanitary and epidemiological commission, which was attended by Anna Popova, Russia's chief sanitary doctor, to address the suspected case.
