The coronavirus infection that paralyzed world sports seems to have frightened even the Belarusian officials who demonstrated extraordinary courage. The youth and youth football championships are being canceled, writes lrytas.lt. Despite the rapid spread of the coronavirus in the country, Belarusians demonstrate exceptional courage to the rest of the world - continuing various sports competitions. The idea is also supported by President Alexander Lukashenko, publicly stating that the best remedy is a sauna, a tractor, sports, and vodka. It seems that courage is already starting to fail, as news from all regions spreads about overcrowded hospitals, mass-sick doctors. News has emerged about a COVID-19 outbreak during the Belarusian sports gymnastics championship held in Gomel. The Belarusian football federation has announced the cancellation of children's and youth football championships. The reason given is the recommendation of the Belarusian Ministry of Sports and Tourism. The championships are suspended indefinitely. However, the Belarusian men's football championship, which started a couple of weeks ago, continues - two matches are scheduled for today. Football championships have not been canceled yet in Tajikistan, Nicaragua, and Burundi.
