China has sealed off an Inner Mongolian village after a resident died from the bubonic plague, according to a statement by the municipal health authorities.
The death was reported to the Baotou Municipal Health Commission on Sunday, reads the statement, and the victim was confirmed to have bubonic plague on Thursday. The unidentified patient ultimately died of circulatory system failure.
Suji Xincun village, where the person died, was immediately sealed off, and daily disinfection of homes was ordered.
A bit of good news: all people the victim is known to have been in contact with have so far tested negative for the disease, and no one else in the village appears to have contracted it.
“The deceased’s residence and surrounding farmers’ residences were completely (cleaned0 every day, and flea and rodent eradication, environmental sanitation and remediation were carried out in and around Suji New Village,” reads the official statement (via Google Translate). “At present, all villagers in Suji Xincun Village have no abnormalities such as fever, and the plague nucleic acid PCR test results are all negative.”
The Damao Banner district in Mongolia, where Suji Xincun is located, is currently under a “Level III” stage emergency until the end of 2020.
In early July, two Mongolians were infected with the bubonic plague after eating marmot meat. A teenager later died of the disease.
