The Vice Minister said the Records Center has delayed receiving information.

According to her, not everyone manages to obtain information about the negative answers of the test.

“We ask people to understand the situation that if they have not received a case, it means that their response is negative, they will inform us when e-health starts to work,” he said.

The Vice Minister said that the number of tests has not decreased: between 3 and 4 thousand are carried out daily.

Representative of the National Center for Public Health, Head of the Division of Communicable Disease Management. Specialist Eglė Korkut said that two patients with coronavirus are being treated in resuscitation, two need oxygen masks and one has ventilated lungs.

“The number is growing, we cannot relax. But epidemiologists are working: the more people are trapped and isolated, the more we protect society. That work is happening now,” she said.

According to E. Korkut, there are cases where it is not possible to determine where a person has been infected. According to her, this is often due to the fact that people simply lie to epidemiologists.

“Sometimes people lie, there are times when we learn the truth about the environment,” he said.

Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Jaroslav Narkevičius also briefly participated in the press conference held at SAM on Friday, explaining that the situation is under control.

“We already considered the list of possible measures at the beginning of the week. Tightening or advantage of wearing masks (mandatory – aut). We are adjusting the call because we see the need to keep a distance and use masks in demonstrations. Whether the stores or transportation must be taken care of for your own protection and that of others, measures will definitely be recommended on Tuesday, ”he said.

We still recommend wearing masks on public transportation.
