Good to know Russian authorities treat this seriously and are cooperative. Remember Covid-19 and how information was very fuzzy for weeks when in broke out in late 2019? Probably not because it wasn't really reported on. Remember how China denies it came from the Wuhan lab and often even the city or China at all? Remember how that got completely out of control before it even left the country because authorities simply denied anything was going on?
I'm sort of relieved to hear about this incident and how it's being handled so far. They already tested people in the victim's close proximity and are monitoring them closely but all they found so far were minor cases of guess what? Covid-19! Also kudos for researching that shit in Siberia instead of a major global port city like Wuhan.
