“A trial batch of the Russian vaccine has been produced,” RIA Novosti Pinevich is quoted as saying.

He specified that the batch was produced on the basis of the republican enterprise "Belmedpreparaty".

According to him, this step is one of the most important results of the strategic interaction between Belarus and Russia.

“Vaccination is now an integral factor in the fight against the epidemic process,” the minister added.

Earlier in Belarus, the number of detected cases of coronavirus infection COVID-19 increased by 1602 per day and reached 284 500.
