Guards from the National Security Services, NSO, are watching his hospital room.
Borisov has checked in the hospital around 5 pm Monday with very high blood pressure - 190/110.
Doctors have placed him on medications to normalize his blood pressure and have advised him to stay in the hospital for a couple of days so that they can monitor his condition.
