MINSK, 5 November (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko spoke about Poland's decision to attract foreign doctors to help it tackle COVID-19 at a meeting to discuss the measures to counter the spread of viral infections, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that a few days ago Poland announced its intention to attract doctors from abroad, including from Belarus, to fight the coronavirus.
“This is how the fairytale of a beautiful life gets shattered. They especially seek our doctors. They invite them to come to Poland to help people and the state to fight COVID-19. I would like to say that we don't have any extra doctors. We need our doctors here to treat our people. However, we are not forcing any one to stay here. This is our principle. But, one must remember if you go abroad, there will be no turning back. You will stay there and earn the money you've left your country for,” the president said.
The head of state stressed that this is not a threat but an instruction for the government.
“Everybody should be shown their place. There is no need to put obstacles for those longing for big money,” he added.
