Four cases of coronavirus have been laboratory confirmed in Belarus. Positive result was found among the patients under medical supervision. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health.

- Today, another one of the tests, carried out by a citizen of the Republic of Belarus, isolated in order to organize medical monitoring due to close contact with one of the coronavirus-infected patients, showed the RNA of coronavirus, - the Ministry of Health informs.

Thus, 4 cases of infection have been confirmed in the country. However, the number of those infected may increase, as 2 more tests of patients related to Level 1 contact demonstrate preliminary positive results.

- The refinement of laboratory diagnostics is carried out in accordance with the protocols of examination recommended by the WHO, - the Ministry of Health informs and promises to announce the final results.

The 1st level contacts mean a close contact with a patient with a confirmed case of coronavirus infection. Such people are isolated and they undergo laboratory examination at the place of isolation.

Contacts of the 2nd level are not long-term or close and the probability of infection is very low. Such people are under medical supervision and it is not advisable to have them examined by a laboratory.

According to specialists, all the patients under observation feel satisfactory, including those who have confirmed coronavirus.

- Given the fact that the tests were initially negative, we can conclude that patients were isolated even before the virus started to secrete from the body, which excluded the possibility of further transmitting of infection, - the Ministry of Health stressed.
