Disinfection of public transport has been intensified in Vitebsk
Sanitary and epidemiological prevention measures have been intensified in many organizations in Belarus. Transport organizations are among the most important. Vitebsk GorElektroTrans reported that any vehicle is washed immediately upon returning from its route. This procedure is carried out daily and is not dependent on any circumstances. The vehicle drives under huge brushes that "squeeze" it and remove dirt from the body.

"We process the vehicles three times a day. Washing each tram takes about five minutes. We carry out dry and wet cleaning, and also treat the interior with a disinfectant, spraying all surfaces that people touch - walls, windows, seats, and handrails. We have enough of the necessary средства for this procedure," noted Petr Kashkar.
Specialists work in special suits, respirators, gloves, and goggles. Periodically, the condition of the vehicle processing is checked by employees of the center for hygiene and epidemiology.
Drivers are responsible for order at their workplaces. They can carry out the necessary hygiene procedures at the dispatch stations when they come to work and between trips.
More than 100 trolleybuses and trams go out into the city daily. All vehicle depots in the Vitebsk region carry out similar processing of their transport.
