Some articles say this is actually in a Chinese City. It must be a state in China. I know, there are two Mongolias, Inner and Outer, one is an independent nation and actually, has a relatively good record for freedom. Article listed after first one.

Bubonic plague forces parts of Mongolia into lockdown​

Mongolia has ordered residents of the western Khovd region into lockdown after it found two people thought to be suffering from the black plague. Tests established that the two had contracted the “marmot plague”.

Mongolia’s National Center for Zoonotic Diseases (NCZD) said in a statement that the disease is linked to the consumption of marmot meat.

Local authorities have imposed lockdown in the provincial capital and one of the region’s districts, about 500 kilometers south of the southern Siberian republics of Tuva and Altai.

They need to fix their diet, really and I’m not one to judge but they have a problem.
 
We have plague in the US.
It’s a treatable disease (antibiotics).
It’s also reportable and every year we have some cases.

Relax.
