The Belarusian head of state noted that the impact of the coronavirus has yet to be assessed. At the same time, he emphasized that in its fight against COVID-19 Belarus proceeded from the prevailing circumstances and relied on available resources. Time has shown that Belarus chose the right strategy and this strategy is now in demand by other countries, the president said.

“We went our own way proceeding from the situation that we had,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

“In the future, we will have to answer the question: the world is now being cut into pieces and divided, and what role has the pandemic played in this? Probably, the pandemic was also a factor here if we puzzle everything out,” the head of state said.
