Traces of Plague Found in Mail Sent to French Training Center

Authorities confirm a suspicious envelope containing plague-positive powder was sent to a school in Chalon-sur-Saône, with six individuals under medical observation.

An envelope containing white powder, later confirmed to test positive for plague, was sent to the Colint School, a private training center in Chalon-sur-Saône, France.
The envelope was part of several received from abroad, though only one contained the plague-positive substance.
Six employees exposed to the envelope were transferred to a specialized medical facility but have shown no symptoms of infection so far.
The Saône-et-Loire prefecture activated a response team to coordinate precautionary measures and launched further investigations into the incident.
Experts note that while plague cases are rare in Europe, the disease is re-emerging globally, with recent cases reported in regions like the United States and China.
