   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.

            Of course, Russias pure animals have no stinky diseases, and we can trust their officials every word they say. Also, Russia doesn’t have any gays, because that is a “western disease”.
