North China city reports 1 case of bubonic plague, launches level III early warning
Permalink   
 

The city of Bayan Nur of North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is urging local residents to strictly follow prevention and control measures regarding the handling of wild animals after a single case of bubonic plague was reported at a local hospital.

The patient, a local farmer, was confirmed to be sickened by the plague, Bayan Nur health authority said late Sunday. Local authorities have implemented strict epidemic control and prevention measures. 

The patient is being treated in isolation in a local hospital and is in stable condition.

There is risk of transmission of the plague among humans, reads an announcement on the website of the city's health authority. 

The authority is requiring local residents to strictly follow prevention and control measures including not hunting illegally, eating or carrying animals and their products out of the area. 

Residents have been told to report finding ill and dead animals and people showing signs of a fever and sudden deaths.  

The level III early warning took effect Sunday and will remain in place until the end of this year, the authority said. 

Beijing health authorities on Monday issued an alert over a bubonic plague infection that occurred in Inner Mongolia, warning the public not to approach or consume wild animals.

When visiting the grasslands in the region, people should maintain good personal protection, and not approach or consume wild animals when visiting the area, an official from the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control (Beijing CDC) said on Monday.

The plague is a severe infectious disease that is highly transmissible and has a high fatality rate. It's a Class A infectious disease, the highest classification under China's Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases.

Plague-infected rodents are a key source of the spread of the disease which is mainly transmitted among human through bites from infected fleas. 

In November 2019, two people traveling from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to Beijing were diagnosed with the pneumonic plague.

I was just reading about this....something else to look forwards to?
If I was young I seriously doubt whether I would consider having any children to bring them into this world.

We should stop flights from China until this is contained.  It's a horrible disease which was caused by eating raw rats apparently. Once it spreads it's hard to contain and can be deadly without antibiotics.  I despair of China!

Google shows an average seven cases a year in US, easily treated with antibiotics, not a threat, good scare item though.

Well hopefully China will manage this latest plague better than they did the previous one.

I won't hold my breath Syl.  If this becomes world wide, well millions can die.  It's a horrible disease, painful and deadly.  Antibiotics can help but if it becomes world wide, what's the betting antibiotics will dry up.  Thanx China!:dark:

Bubonic plague comes from fleas off of mammals. Only really got to worry about it if it starts transmitting as pneumonic plague then it can spread person to person. Even then it's now a treatable disease unless some anti biotic resistant strain emerges, that'd be scary.
