Tajikistan is scheduled to receive support from the Russian federal service 'Rospotrebnadzor' in the fight against the plague. This was announced in a meeting of the Coordination Council attended by representatives of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the CIS Executive Committee.
During the meeting, Rospotrebnadzor informed the participants that in 2023, programs to assist CIS member states in ensuring epidemiological well-being for dangerous infectious diseases will continue with the support of the Russian government.
Specialists will be trained, joint exercises and expeditions will be conducted, and the material and technical base of specialized institutions of CIS member countries will be strengthened through these programs.
The bubonic plague last occurred in Tajikistan's Ainin district 120 years ago, resulting in around 200 fatalities, including medical personnel.
Earlier, Daryo reported that according to the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health, Uzbekistan is not at risk of a bubonic plague outbreak despite reports of its spread to China and Mongolia on August 14.
The disease is transmitted through flea and tick bites and is characterized by severe symptoms, including fever, skin lesions, lymph nodes, lungs, and septic conditions.
