“The decision is likely to be made that people returning from countries from which isolation is required do not receive certificates of disability soon.” However, they must be responsible for themselves and others, and it is not possible to extend vacation at the expense of other people ”, R. Lingienė warned in the program.
According to the Vilnius department director at NVSC, it is worth considering whether the truly planned trip cannot be postponed. You should also assess your own risk of developing coronavirus.
“Understanding that we can bring coronaviruses even from a very safe country, even if the situation in that country is good, we can feel great inconvenience, we may have to change travel plans, we can enter an area of certain restrictions.” You may also need to isolate yourself when you return to Lithuania. This is very important. It is also important to understand that traveling to a country with a low epidemiological risk does not mean being safe at airports, safe on planes. What I would advise: if you can’t postpone, choose your own trip so as not to be at the airport. If this is not possible, take personal protective equipment with you, have a disinfectant liquid, “said R. Lingienė.
According to R. Lingienė, the epidemiological situation in countries popular with Lithuanian tourists (Bulgaria, Portugal, Croatia) is definitely not good.
“Isolation was optional for those who returned from Croatia last week, only recommended, now the situation has deteriorated dramatically and isolation is mandatory,” said an NVSC spokeswoman.
– In Poland itself, the incidence of coronavirus in 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants was recorded at 10.3. There are now 2.8 in Lithuania. So the situation in neighboring countries is getting worse. “
Can we say Latvia is a safe country and can we feel safe there?
“I would like to answer your question with reservation. For a long time, the epidemiological situation in this country has been very favorable, but it is changing for the worse. The two-week fixed morbidity rate in Latvia is 3 last Friday, while in Lithuania it was 2.8. For a long time, Latvia looked much better than us, so you can see how quickly the situation can change. This is not a country to isolate on your return. But you could say it is very safe there, now it is not safe anywhere, “warned the interlocutor of the program” Delfi rytas “.
A representative from NVSC also spoke about a possible second wave of coronavirus, which is now widely discussed. However, in R. Lingienė’s opinion, currently in Lithuania, as in the world, it is still only a continuation of the first wave.
“While many say the second wave has already begun in the world, others say it is the third, but in fact, the head of the World Health Organization made it very clear on July 7 that the first wave has not ended. and certain peaks registered in the countries are the first “. The continuation of the wave. In the case of Lithuania, the absolute majority of cases are interrelated, whether imported or related to vacations or family fireplaces. Therefore, I can definitely confirm that the first wave is not over yet, but we have to prepare for the second one, – said R. Lingienė.
– The second wave may be in December. Viral infections of this type generally spread in waves and the best conditions for the peak of this infection to occur are during the winter, which often coincides with the flu season. But that would be good news, because in fact the world is preparing for the second wave to arrive much earlier. You see that the situation is deteriorating dramatically in the world, in the European countries; if the situation is not threatening, it is really deteriorating significantly. “
