As the weather warmed, residents flocked to open-air cafes and bars over the weekend. The abundant views of visitors to the streets of the capital not only delight café owners, but also scare epidemiologists.
Health professionals, seeing a significant increase in the number of patients, caution residents not to relax, to wear masks, and to keep a safe distance. Otherwise, the number of infections will only increase.
“Certainly Vilnius’ old town and the streets of other cities are really full of young people, the elderly, shopping malls and parks. And it’s that kind of relaxation after we were allowed to work in beauty salons in the second half of April has now passed like a week and a half and we are seeing those results. Yes, they were all warned and there was a lot of talk that it is not possible to relax because the virus lives among us, “said Daiva Razmuvienė, a medical epidemiologist.
The municipality offers another version.
At that time, the Vilnius city municipality, after having granted freedom to outdoor cafes and allowing them to open in public spaces in the city (squares, streets and squares), ensures that the greatest number of cases is not a consequence of relaxation from quarantine. The majority of coronavirus cases are said to have been reported in Antaviliai and in the clinical hospital.

“For outdoor cafes, of course, there are some nuances, but people are really trying to be careful, sometimes maybe not everything is fine with the centimeter arrow to the right. But the practice of other countries shows that our distances and rules are one of the strictest. And these are not the ways the virus spreads, “said Povilas Poderskis, director of the administration.
The fireplace at Antavilis is expanding.
And here the coronavirus outbreak in Antavilis is not only rotting, it is also expanding. In this pension, infection was detected in 15 other people, of whom the coronavirus was confirmed in 10 residents and 5 employees. According to the doctor, epidemiologist D. Razmuvienė, the Antaviliai pension does not follow all the safety instructions, therefore, the coronavirus infection continues to spread here. Altogether, there are already 33 people with coronavirus in Antavili.
The biggest problems are still the misuse or misuse of personal protective equipment, or in general, not knowing how to do it. And once again, groups of workers assigned to work so that they do not contact each other during shifts did not take into account such a serious possibility of spreading the infection and the workers who had to be in isolation only worked.
Deny the allegations
At that time, the management of the Antaviliai pension assured that such accusations were broken with the finger.
“It is not true that we do not have the means, it is not true that we do not use it. We have all the tools, the employees have experience, they know what the threat is due to the virus and they save their lives,” says Birutė Šarakauskienė, Deputy Director of the pension.
According to health experts, it is planned to study all residents and employees in Antaviliai. The director of the municipal administration, Povilas Poderskis, ensures that the entire Antaviliai pension had to be examined immediately, and not in several stages. This is said to prevent further spread of the infection.
Antaviliai Pension
“Only at the end of this week, we received an order to screen the entire population, before allowing it to do so, arguing that the virus could spread.” Investigations are always carried out with full security measures and in compliance with all the rules, “said P. Poderskis.
In addition to the Antaviliai pension, the focus of the coronavirus is similarly expanding at the Vilnius City Clinical Hospital, where 10 new cases of coronavirus have been identified.
All other coronavirus cases detected within two days, according to the Public Health Center, were isolated, as well as a family outbreak. It is true that when announcing new cases, the Ministry of Health reported that more than 8 cases were detected on Friday as announced. Currently it is clarifying how many of these 43 cases were detected on Saturday and how many on Friday.
