How to make the bot accept the command without "/"?

Question

Python

I write on the pyTelegramBotAPI library. There is a bot that is activated only when you write a command with "/", for example "/start". But if you use the bot and restart it, then it will not perceive the "Coronavirus" and "Course" functions as a command without "/". How to make the bot perceive the text as a command? If possible, an example code. And thanks for taking the time to solve my problem!

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
    markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(resize_keyboard=True, row_width=2)
    btn1 = types.KeyboardButton('Коронавирус')
    btn2 = types.KeyboardButton('Курс')
    markup.add(btn1, btn2)
    hi_mes = f"<b>Привет {message.from_user.first_name}!</b>"
    start_mes = bot.send_message(
        message.chat.id, hi_mes, parse_mode='html', reply_markup=markup)
    bot.register_next_step_handler(start_mes, check_start)


def check_start(message):
    analize_start = message.text
    if analize_start == 'Коронавирус':
        command = covid_start(message)
    elif analize_start == 'Курс':
        command = currency(message)
    else:
        bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Ошибка", parse_mode='html')

# Дальше там код функций

bot.polling(none_stop=True)

Put a decorator above the linedef check_start(message):@bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])
