The Government of Belarus has identified measures to prevent the importation and spread of infection caused by the coronavirus COVID-19.

According to the resolution of the Council of Ministers, all people who arrived in Belarus from the countries, where cases of infection with COVID-19 are registered, within 14 calendar days from the date of arrival:

• must be in self-isolation at home;

• are not subject to subsequent crossing of the Belarusian border (until the self-isolation period expires).

The list of countries where cases of COVID-19 infection are registered, according to the document, should be published on the official website of the Ministry of Health. But there is no such list now. Judging by the government decree, we are talking about almost all countries in the world, including Russia, with which we have no border.

However, it is not clear how we can control visitors on the border with Russia, which we do not have a border with.

The resolution comes into force on March 27.
