“The person belonged to the age group of 51-60 years, but due to the oncological disease also belonged to the risk group. According to preliminary data, he became infected with a nearby person who works at the Kaunas Clinical Hospital and also suffered from coronavirus, ”said Rolanda Lingienė, Head of the NVSC Vilnius Department, at BNS.

However, he emphasizes that the case can still be removed from the list of coronavirus deaths and included in those who had COVID-19 but died of other causes.

“The cause of death is still being clarified. So far, the information is as it is, but in Kaunas the situation is still being clarified, because the person had really serious cancer problems,” said the NVSC representative.

A total of 1,727 cases of coronavirus infection were confirmed in Lithuania on Monday. 308 people still have an infectious disease and 1,338 have recovered.

72 people died from COVID-19, and nine more died from other causes.
