1. Ukraine
Belarusians can enter Ukraine, since March 5, 2021, Belarus is in the "green" zone. You can enter Ukraine without a PCR test and without being in self-isolation for 14 days. However, in any case, there must be an insurance policy covering the costs of treating COVID-19, issued by a Ukrainian insurance company or a foreign insurance company that has a representative office in Ukraine.
After returning to Belarus, self-isolation for 10 days is required.
2. Egypt
To visit Egypt, Belarusians need a PCR test taken no earlier than 72 hours before departure. A visa is not required until April 30, if the flight is charter.
Recently, tour operators have begun to include the cost of a PCR test in the package of their services (check this point with the tour operator of your choice). Prices for tours start from $400 per person.
What is the situation in Egypt now?
At the moment, in the popular resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, some hotels are closed, the open ones are about 50% full. The prices for excursions have slightly decreased.

Also, national parks are closed in Georgia, and restaurants only offer delivery. In Tbilisi, public transport was not operating until February 22, and only taxis could be used (with a possible seating of two people in the back seat). Non-food stores opened only at the beginning of February. Only those hotels that passed the inspection by the local Ministry of Health are operating.
Many tourist sites are closed — even outdoors. It's difficult to find a guide, as many have changed jobs or left.

After returning: self-isolation for 10 days is required in Belarus.
5. Slovenia.
Slovenia recently opened its borders to travelers from Belarus, so this country can also be considered as a destination for отдых. If you fall into the category of foreigners who have received both doses of the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine (and at least 7 days have passed since the vaccination), MODERNA (at least 14 days), and AstraZeneca (at least 21 days), then you will not have to take a test before traveling and undergo quarantine upon arrival.
For those who have not been vaccinated, there are two options for entry: take a coronavirus test and get a certificate with a negative result (not earlier than 48 hours before entry) or undergo a 10-day quarantine in Slovenia.
After returning from Slovenia, self-isolation for 10 days is required in Belarus.
