From Monday, everyone arriving in Lithuania by plane or ferry will have to fill out the form from the National Center for Public Health.
“People understand that they have to provide their data and they don’t argue too much,” Ginreta Megelinskienė, head of NVSC’s Communicable Disease Management Division, told reporters on Monday.

In the questionnaire, people must indicate their name, place of residence, countries visited, seats on the plane or ferry.
G. Megelinskienė notes that visitors are more likely to fill out a paper questionnaire than an electronic form.
“It’s a shame, but electronic forms are filled out by a small number of travelers, they still choose to fill out paper forms at the airport, which greatly complicates and prolongs the process,” said an NVSC spokeswoman.
He said Monday that he trusted more than 200 returnees from Kiev. According to G.Megelinskienė, travelers cooperate and “the process runs smoothly”.
According to G.Megelinskienė, most public health specialists work at Vilnius airport; there were eight of them there on Monday. They are expected to meet in a total of 30 aircraft.
Conflicts have been avoided at airports and seaports
Tadas Vasiliauskas, representative of Lithuanian airports, says that travelers are actively informed about the possibility of completing questionnaires online.
“It just came to our knowledge then. When people know their seat on the plane, the address they will have in Lithuania, they can fill out that form immediately,” he told BNS.
“We have informed all carriers about the new procedure and process. (…) Passengers are also informed at the airport itself. The messages are condensed on the advertising screens through audio messages,” said a representative of the Lithuanian airports.

He said there are no challenges yet, but he does not rule out the possibility that in the future there will be passengers who will have to be disciplined.
“Remembering previous individual passengers who, for example, did not want to wear a mask, it can be said that something similar could happen in this case. (…) However, we did not notice great challenges. The conditions are met, but the responsibility lies with the passengers themselves. You will not be next to all human policemen, “said T. Vasiliauskas.
Karolis Grigalauskas, general manager of the central terminal in Klaipėda, told BNS that the situation in the seaport is similar: visitors fill out questionnaires on ships.
“We follow all the instructions of the Government, everyone who sails fills in the questionnaires. People understand, they know it is necessary and there have been no serious incidents, “he said.
Last week, Rolanda Lingienė, head of the NVSC’s Vilnius department, said that if the situation with the coronavirus in Lithuania continues to deteriorate, people who participate in various events should also be required to register.
