00:03The EU is urging Russia to release information about the suspected plague death of a lab worker
00:09at an anti-plague research institute in Siberia.
00:13Let me say for the third time this week in the press room,
00:17Russia should make information about the plague available as soon as possible.
00:23This is what we need.
00:24We have had yesterday meeting with the WHO and also WHO is seeking clarifications,
00:32seeking more information.
00:34We need information from Russia.
00:36Russian authorities have downplayed the incident,
00:38saying the 28-year-old woman had died of pneumonia of a non-origin.
00:43Local media suggested she could have contracted the plague after breaking a test tube at the laboratory.
00:49The United States said Russia is not providing much information about the death,
00:53despite their requests.
