According to the Belarusian leader, these tests often yield erroneous results.

“A lot of testing, but I must tell you frankly that I found based on this information, and not only I: the tests are no good. Even here examined the Russians (to the nuclear plant arrived), all 15 people were treated, studied Russian tests — all positive… Abandoned Russian tests, took their Chinese — only one person was coronavirus,” he was quoted TUT.BY.

Earlier, the Russian Ambassador in Belarus Dmitry Mezentsev said that Moscow gave Minsk on 10 thousand test systems for the detection of coronavirus infection COVID-19.

On 17 April the Minister of health of Belarus Vladimir Karanik called a controlled situation with the coronavirus in the country.
