#Chinese public health authorities are taking precautions to prevent a #bubonic #plague outbreak in a remote northern region after a herder contracted the disease, although the #risk of large-scale infections is low with the availability of modern medicine.
The health commission in #Bayannur in the region of Inner #Mongolia raised its public health warning to its third-highest of four alert levels on Sunday and banned the hunting, skinning, and transportation of rodents that might carry the bacteria, known as #Yersinia pestis. The municipal government raised its alert level by one notch to “standard plague outbreak alert,” which meant humans have been infected.
“There is a risk of a human plague #epidemic spreading in this city,” Bayannur’s local health commission said in a statement.

Over the past year, #China has reported five cases of the disease associated with some of the deadliest pandemics in human history. The plague caused the Black Death that devastated the population of medieval Europe and repeatedly afflicted Asia, but it has largely been controlled since the mid-20th century.
A #World Health Organization spokeswoman in Geneva said Tuesday that the plague case count in China was low and the agency did not consider it high risk, but it was monitoring the situation, Reuters reported.
Officials at Inner Mongolia’s regional center for disease control have warned that the plague may have long been circulating locally and there is a risk of human-to-human #transmission and “long-distance transmission,” according to a statement posted online by the regional government last month.
