You can see which countries were less fortunate than Lithuania, which had to transport its citizens to the cemetery in military trucks at night, because it was very stressful for people during the day.
Some countries even had to adapt the ice arenas to have where to place patients. I can remind you that Lithuania was also preparing for such scenarios, it had calculated how many refrigerator-wagons it had on the railway, if necessary, ”said A. Veryga.
“The situation is not bad yet”
However, the Minister assured that the situation is currently under control and was pleased that the saddest scenario has been avoided due to the conscience of our citizens.
“We all acted conscientiously, we protected our loved ones civilly and we got out quite easily with a relatively small number of deaths … which allows us to speculate, to raise certain conspiracy theories,” he said.
A. Veryga emphasized that the situation in Lithuania is not very bad at the moment, because the number of new cases is not growing exponentially.
