For those following the development, this is most complete and up-to-date source I can find with some credibility about the outbreak, if it is an outbreak.

Of most concern is the fact that people in the region on social media are reporting seeing officials in body suits out on the streets of the town, and several hospitals have been quarantined.

If this was gain-of-function bioweapons research, the first thing that would be done regarding pneumonic plague would be to engineer in antibiotic resistance. And without antibiotic treatment, this is an infection with a 100% mortality rate, so... Worth keeping an eye on.
