MINSK, 9 March (BelTA) – Galasy Zmesta will represent Belarus at Eurovision 2021, BelTA learned from the Telegram channel of the ATN news agency.

The international song contest will be held in Rotterdam.

A reminder, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Dutch host broadcasters will hold the competition in a new format this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

All the participants are recommended to observe a five-day self-isolation before flying to the Netherlands and to have COVID-19 immunity certificates. The tests should be taken no more than 72 hours before departure. When in the Netherlands, the delegations will have to stay in their hotels unless they need to go to Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena for rehearsals, live performances and other events.

The number of journalists who can attend the event will also be capped at 500 with a further 1,000 able to cover the show in an online press centre.

A decision on whether an audience can be present at the shows will be taken at a later time.
