Rospotrebnadzor says there is minimal risk of anthrax outbreak in Russia.

It's important to note that anthrax is not transmitted from person to person, and infections occur only through contact with infected animals or their waste products, such as MEAT . Therefore, monitoring livestock conditions and maintaining sanitary standards are crucial to preventing outbreaks.

Rospotrebnadzor is also strengthening sanitary and quarantine measures at the country's borders and urging citizens not to purchase meat from suspicious markets and to immediately report any abnormal animal behavior to veterinary authorities. The ability of anthrax spores to persist in soil for long periods underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and preventative measures.
