There was a high-risk epidemic, the Black Death, in the Autonomous Region of Neimong, northern China.
According to the National Health Committee of Bayan Naorei, Nei Meng District, yesterday, a pastoral worker in the area was diagnosed with lymph node death.
The patient was found to have been active in the Black Death frequent area before symptoms appeared.
The patient is currently in quarantine, and the condition is said to be stable. The authorities have issued a warning of'comparative severity', the second stage of the fourth stage of early warning of disasters, and decided to maintain it by the end of the year.
Authorities are not to hunt or eat animals that could spread the disease, but to report suspected black plague or high-risk patients who are unexplained if they have seen a diseased or dead worm.
Black plague can be transmitted by contact with the body fluids or blood of wild rodents such as rats and rabbits infected with rat fleas, or by bites of fleas. It is spread among people through small droplets of cough when a patient with lung plague coughs.
In the area of the Black Death climate, Nei Mong-gu, in November of last year, three black plagues were carried out, and a massive flea eradication operation was carried out using helicopters.
