The schools are still open. Its Premier League soccer teams play on, the only Uefa member state to do so. And some residents even think coronavirus is just "a rumour." Belarus has yet to implement any severe measures to curb the spread of coronavirus, although it has recorded 81 coronavirus cases. So parents are forced to protect their children themselves, some using masks. The lack of information and the government's position, in contrast to that of neighbouring counties, has divided Belarusian society into two camps: those who back the government's hands-off stance and those more skeptical, believing the true number of victims to be far higher. Here, vox pops with locals in the capital Minsk suggest those in the former camp are in the majority. Nikolay Borovik, a driver, says: "Coronavirus is not true! This rumor was created! There's nothing to worry about." [05:41 - 06:12] Pensioner Zoya Ivanovich says: "Although I am a senior citizen, I'm not afraid of coronavirus. I don't stay at home. Are people in Belarus well informed about coronavirus? Very well informed! I think there's too much information on the internet. Everything is fine." [05:00 - 05:41]
