Law enforcement officials in Tomsk have investigated reports concerning dispersed blood test vials
In the city of Tomsk, Russia, an unusual incident has raised concerns among the local community. Blood-filled test tubes, some of which are reportedly signed, have been found scattered on the road outside a building at 38/1 Smirnova Street.
The exact location of the AIDS center is not specified in the given information, but the incident occurred near three medical institutions, including the AIDS center. The regional Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Other Infectious Diseases has denied the presence of blood-filled test tubes on the territory outside their building at 5a Smirnova Street.
The Tomsk Children's Hospital No. 2, however, collects venous blood in vacuum tubes with yellow caps. The hospital's statement does not provide information about the origin of the test tubes found on Smirnova Street, nor does it mention whether these test tubes were collected by the hospital.
The hospital does confirm that they transport the collected blood in special containers and use autoclaving for disposing of biological material. Interestingly, the hospital only uses red-capped test tubes for transporting biomaterial to the Epidemiology Center, and these test tubes are rarely used for other purposes.
The regional health department has been informed about the incident, but as of now, there are no publicly available official reports or updates from the regional health department or local hospitals regarding the alleged blood-filled test tubes. The regional health department is yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
Concerned Tomsk residents have posted about the incident on social media, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will handle this situation. For the latest and most accurate information, monitoring official channels such as the regional health department's website or local news sources from Tomsk is recommended.
