“Naturally, if it is reported, I will probably do that investigation there, like everyone else, as appropriate. But anyway, I tried to avoid contact with all the people, knowing the situation.

R. Lingienė emphasized that the risk of contracting coronavirus from a person who already has it depends on whether the people who have been in contact with him have been with security measures, how long they have been in contact, etc.
“I have not really seen those photos and cannot say more details. But all the contact phone numbers have already been received and everyone will be contacted on how to make the call. It will be made clear to everyone whether it is necessary to take any action or not. Because, as you can see, it depends a lot on time, how long people have been in contact and with what protection measures ”, emphasized the head of the NVSC Vilnius branch.
It will be determined with everyone if it is necessary to take any action or not. Because, as you can see, it depends a lot on time: how long have people been in contact and with what protections.
A. Bautronis announced that his coronavirus test results for the weekend were negative.
R. Lingienė said that when a person takes a test and their results do not show the presence of coronavirus, it does not mean that they are not infected.

“It may be infected, but the virus has not multiplied enough to make it different.” If the PCR test is negative, then the person is not yet infecting others. That is the main point. But I’m not really talking about a specific person, because I really don’t know anything yet, “emphasized the head of the Vilnius branch of NVSC.
