More than 1 billion 200 million rubles will be allocated to combat the infection in 2021. The meeting of the CIS Health Cooperation Council takes place at the President Hotel. Alexander Lukashenko sent his greetings to the participants. Mutual recognition of vaccination certificates is also discussed at the forum. In particular, the Minister of Health of Russia noted that the key condition must be the fact of vaccination, not the preparation used.
