New Facts: Irkutsk governor meets federal sanitary chief

All identified close contacts are under medical observation. None have shown symptoms, and tests to date are negative. Tallies vary from 189 to 197 people under watch, and quarantines have reached multiple hospitals, including at least one maternity ward, while a nearby aluminum plant told staff to wear masks.
