Šiškauskienė: we offered our version
President of the Lithuanian Hotel and Restaurant Association (LVRA) Evalda Šiškauskienė Delphi He commented badly on the decision to limit the cafes to 10 p.m. and said the association had proposed to extend the time for another hour until 11 p.m.

Generally speaking about the government’s decision, he said he welcomed it and called the permitted outdoor café activities a hobby.
“We really appreciate the decision to open eating places, because now that there is an open-air shop, you can see it’s raining and just keep the brand, so people don’t forget and elevate the overall mood, but in terms rotation and employees: outdoor cafes here just a joke.

And yes, the flows will be halved in all remote maintenance and the losses will be much less. Looking at last year’s estimates, it is obvious that restaurants are practically losing around 2.5 million per day. EUR. We saw that there are 34 thousand in the restaurant restoration sector. employees, that approximately a third will not return to work, “he said.

“Without a doubt, the movement to open cafes and restaurants is excellent. We see that some of our good restaurants have already fallen and we promise not to open, where there were more tastings, they depended on tourists. We will see how many bankruptcies, how many closings, “he said.
The LVRA president also spoke about the health centers, which were accepted to open from May 30.
“I have not yet fully explored it, but as far as I spoke yesterday with the Ministry of Health, he said that the pools would not be open and that beauty treatments, massages, more precisely, non-medical massages. I do not know what the change will be now “But it would be nice if it allowed procedures in spa hotels, because they are really safe, even if massage is not therapeutic,” he said.
You will have to regulate the flows.
On Tuesday, Health Minister Aurelijus Veryga said at a press conference that catering establishments must also regulate visitor flows and meet distance requirements.
“There will also be some distances between the tables, one of the main requirements will be the regulation of flows, the observance of distances, the measures for employees who must be safe at work, the limitation of working hours,” he said. A. Veryga.
According to him, it is proposed that the visitor service inside be limited to 10 p.m., so that the licensed nightclubs of catering do not start operating.
“It is proposed that only up to 22 hours of work be allowed so that nightclubs do not start operating this way because they have the same catering license to prevent this from happening. People, while sober, take care of everything, they act in a more or less responsible way, but we understand that people who come, celebrate, reach a certain state, when they may have trouble reaching an agreement with customers, they do not want some conflicts, the police “said the Minister”.
