Some cities in northwestern China are in quarantine after a man passed on from bubonic plague a week ago.
The 38-year-old man had been in contact with a dead marmot, a sort of rat, as per the Xinhua news organization. Wellbeing authorities and disease prevention experts are in Yumen, in China’s Gansu Province, to keep the infection from spreading.
A few parts of the city of more than 100,000 individuals are allegedly in quarantine, and 151 individuals who recently had contact with the victimized person are under isolation, the news organization said. Nobody has any manifestations of the infection, Xinhua reported.
A few reports assert the victim had choped the squirrel-like rat up to feed it to his dog, but later he started to have fever. He died in a clinic on July 16.
