“Lithuania is kind of a victim of its initial success. All the big victories allow us to relax a bit, lose the feeling of vigilance, and now we see that the Lithuanians, who were so happy with the fairly well-controlled first stage (COVID-pandemic) 19 – ELTA), where we fell into the top ten in the world, we now see the situation is deteriorating rapidly and is likely to continue to deteriorate in the coming weeks, ”said R. Kuodis on the Verslo žinios news station.

The economist adds that the epidemiological situation in the country can be predicted quite well, so appropriate actions must now be implemented, such as teleworking.

“No one is proposing a complete mass shutdown, as it was a few months ago, but epidemiological models say we must look very far. In other words, take action not when something is already starting to get worse, but predict them, and they predict quite well. Let’s say September 1, opening up for those few weeks, doubting again. Perhaps it would be better to immediately try to say that we are working remotely and see what will be here, ”said R. Kuodis.
