   This information that she "broke a tube" is tabloid bs.

   Non-tabloid version is that she didn't catch it in the lab, she got ill "while being on a research trip to Buryatia region near the border where sources of the disease were found".

      OP article claims the former. Is there a better source for the latter?

         So far I have seen claims of her contracting it doing fieldwork in Buryatia only in telegram groups with no sources. The head of Buryatia Tsydenov released a statement saying she had not been there and that the republic doesn't have animals that carry it.

      In absence of sources, the latter sounds like government cover-up bs to me.
