“Bubonic plague has been with us and is always with us, for centuries.”

A herdsman in China’s northern Inner Mongolia region was confirmed at the weekend to have the bubonic plague.

“Bubonic plague has been with us and is always with us, for centuries,” WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told reporters at a virtual briefing.“At the moment, we are not considering it high-risk but we’re watching it, monitoring it carefully.”The UN health agency said it was notified by China on July 6 of a case of bubonic plague in Inner Mongolia.

“Bubonic plague is the most common form and is transmitted between animals and humans through the bite of infected fleas and direct contact with carcases of infected small animals. It is not easily transmitted between people.”
