Onishchenko called Lukashenko a “great aesculapian” and sent him to the tractor
Former Russian Chief Sanitary Doctor Gennady Onishchenko reacted sharply to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's statement that Russian test systems are "useless," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I would advise Lukashenko: it’s spring now, and we need to sow wheat. Let him go to the fields and tell his collective farmers how to sow, he understands this. But here, this is not his topic,” RIA Novosti quotes Onishchenko.
According to him, if the test systems did not work, Russia itself would have removed them from service, without waiting for the “great aesculapian” Lukashenko to advise.
Rospotrebnadzor also commented on the scandalous statements of the Belarusian president. The department noted that the systems developed by the Russian scientific center “Vector” for detecting coronavirus are in many ways superior to foreign analogues.
Rospotrebnadzor also reported that Russia transferred 14 thousand systems to Belarus free of charge. It was thanks to these tests that the first cases were identified in the country.
Let us remind you that Lukashenko said on Friday that Russian tests could not determine the absence of coronavirus among Russian specialists who arrived at the Belarusian nuclear power plant. Allegedly, this is why they were kept in the observatory for a week.
In addition, the Belarusian authorities continue to deny that they turned to Russia for help, although the state sanitary service of Belarus made an official request.
Onishchenko called Lukashenko a "great doctor" and sent him to the tractor.
