A husband and wife have died after reportedly contracting the bubonic plague in Mongolia.
The case was reported after the pair ate the raw meat of an infected marmot - a type of rodent.
Reports say a quarantine was declared last week, but lifted on Monday.
The health ministry said 124 people were given antibiotics and taken under a doctor's supervision - but showed "no evidence" of symptoms.
Mongolia's National Centre for Zoonotic Disease has recommended not using marmot raw materials and meat, and not to store it at home or to transport it to urban areas.
It has also advised anyone with symptoms - such as mumps, swollen bites, fever, headache or body aches - to contact health officials.
