MINSK, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Belarusian Health Minister Dmitry Pinevich said on Wednesday that the third wave of coronavirus promises to be less intense.

The minister said the intensity of the third wave of coronavirus would depend on the introduction of new strains, as well as the degree of vaccination coverage of the contingents.
