According to V. Usonis, director of the Vilnius University Clinic for Childhood Diseases, there are currently no children hospitalized and treated at the hospital.

“The incidence of children is very low. Fortunately, both in Lithuania and in other countries, according to various data, 1 to 5 percent are children.

Twenty-five children were treated at our Vilnius University Children’s Hospital. The vast majority of them were sick.

Probably the good news is that, fortunately, children get sick easily, ”said Professor V. Usonis.
