On April 10, 1,793 patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection were kept in hospitals across Belarus; but by the following day, April 11, the number had already risen to 2,031. As of Saturday, most patients’ condition was fair; just 52 were in critical condition, sustained by ventilators. Altogether, 23 COVID-19 patients had died, all with pre-existing conditions, and 172 recovered. This is quite an upward dynamic since April 4, when there were officially only 440 infected and 5 reported deaths.
