Researcher broke a test tube. Seems like the standard protocols were followed afterwards, they were isolated and contracted the disease. For extra caution all individuals that made contact with them since have been placed in isolation to avoid spreading the disease.
It’s times like this that I actually have to think “well, fuck, I’m glad it was Russia.” If this was the US we might have some person screaming about a “plague party” and inviting all their friends to help spread it.

According to the article, half of the 200 people under observation were only exposed at the hospital.
