It Is Necessary to Announce a Public Lockdown in Belarus in Connection With the Coronavirus Epidemic

We need to copy the actions of the EU countries to combat the pandemic.

The coordinator of the civil campaign European Belarus Dzmitry Bandarenka stated this in an interview with the Free Russia Forum:

- In Belarus, now is the time to announce a public lockdown in connection with the covid pandemic. Since Belarusians are Europeans, and the authorities again do nothing to preserve people's lives and health, now society should simply repeat, copy the actions of neighboring countries, the countries of the European Union to combat the spread of the covid epidemic, especially in connection with the fact that a new dangerous strain has emerged that comes from Britain.

In Poland, where I am, about 500 people died every day in November-December. I can predict that since schools are not closed in Belarus, as in Poland, restaurants are open, cafes are open, the level of medicine is much worse, about 300 people die every day in the country, that is, we lose about 10,000 people each month.

Yes, the protests will continue because people will not calm down. And protests in the open air are permissible, but Belarusians now need to save the elderly; they need to help the doctors again and stop wandering around restaurants and cafes, limit their activities, keep their children out of school, and stop going to universities. This is important at least in January because we are civilized people, every life is precious to us, and we must think about it.
