This was reported by the press service of the president of the republic.

“Despite my negative and harsh attitude towards the stress of people, masks and so on, I need to be vaccinated.

I have never been against it ... I cannot prohibit vaccinating people, but you will not strain people either, ”he said at a meeting on the epidemiological situation and measures taken to counter COVID-19.

When asked whether all those present did PCR tests and were in quarantine before meeting with the head of state, Lukashenka answered in the negative.

“You did the right thing.

Because this is not accepted in our country ... So why are you mocking people if you freely go to the president? .. Why the police were mobilized to check the mask regime.

Feel everywhere, ”the president said.

Earlier it was reported that the total number of cases of coronavirus in Belarus reached almost 572 thousand.
