President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the theme of the novel coronavirus has been politicized.
"I previously was forced to admit to draw the attention of the authorities and our people a coronavirus that today has become politics. People don’t think about the disease, how to help each other, at the best how to sushitsa, retreating. Say that together is easier to overcome and act contrary. So you see what is happening and how to use the separate States in their own interests, these problems. But whether there will be" – quoted on Sunday, Lukashenko portal Sputnik of Belarus.
The Belarusian head of state reiterated his position: coronavirus will be held, so now we have to think how to overcome its effects.
"Alone in the world is difficult, especially to go against the flow. But I still made the decision that we should not be closed, we must work. And how can you close and fail to work, when the village farmers plant? And if you don’t sow, there will be nothing," he said.
According to the President, "those who today have closed, enlightened, powerful, democratic, began to work, open their factories, orphanages, schools".
"And at this time they still die: six hundred people a day. Why on earth was to experience life?" – said Lukashenko.

"That is, lifestyle does not need to change under these conditions. Therefore, I am not forbidden to work the land, the factories, the factories have not closed the borders. We have identified the corridors – not without problems, but thousands of vehicles carry the necessary goods through us and we, from the West to the East", – said the Belarusian leader.
