The president also spoke about the epidemiological situation in the country. Minsk was the most problematic area at the peak of the coronavirus outbreak. Nevertheless, the medical system coped with it, and managed to prevent panic among people and reduce risks for the economy. At the meeting, Alexander Lukashenko also touched upon such topics as the transition to electric cars, digitalization of the economy and social sphere, and the quality of products.
