"In the case of Belarus, the historical resource base is stronger. Why? On the one hand, this is the so-called medical tourism program-the export of medical services, which has been widely discussed, including by government agencies and the media. What is it? If we are engaged in Transplantology, this means that we must have ventilators, we must have intensive care rooms, we must have trained people. If we have a virus research laboratory, we should have accounting systems (anti-epidemic) in case of emergencies.
Based on the fact that this has been partially accumulated over the past years, Belarus is in a better situation in terms of the resource base, " the expert explained.
He also noted that the Republic can still afford to continue the fight against coronavirus with more lenient measures than its neighbors.
"Based on this, Belarus can afford a softer slide to tough measures. Belarus, as long as it can contain the growth of diseases, can be in the mode in which it is," Tyszkiewicz said.
According to the expert, Belarus can move to the next (tougher) stage of the fight against COVID-19, when the number of infections exceeds a thousand.
"According to my calculations, the number of patients in the amount of 1500-1700 will be the red line when the Belarusian authorities take very drastic measures," the analyst added.
