Lukashenko said in a meeting with senior officials.

Belarus’ president, who has now also acknowledged that the second wave of the epidemic is approaching, has previously said that no people in his country will die from the coronavirus, mentioning vodka, bacon, hockey and sauna among the antidotes of the epidemic.

In Belarus, 81,982 people have been identified so far, of whom 880 have died from the disease.
