As the Prime Minister claimed, he himself had heard such speeches, but called them false.
“On October 16, I also heard that the quarantine would be announced. This is completely false, no deadlines are mentioned, the publication of the quarantine conditions is linked to very clear indicators. Today, although we are seeing an increase in the number of infections , one of the main indicators that would encourage such steps is to see that the health system is overheating, hospital beds are full, resuscitation is required and pulmonary ventilation is needed. ”Skvernelis.
He argued that quarantine could be considered if large amounts of coronavirus growth were recorded, it was no longer about outbreaks but global prevalence, and it would allow to think about quarantine without tracing patient contacts.
S. Skvernel assured that today we can talk about recommendations for the moment.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Today we have no indications yet, we have 5 cities and districts, chimneys in them. There, the number of all infections is about 85 percent. The situation is good in the rest of the country. Today “We can only talk about recommendations so far. If necessary, the introduction of local quarantine could be considered. But this is definitely not the case today,” said the head of government.
And he reiterated that the local quarantine would be announced initially. He said there was no reason to talk about quarantine at this time. And the current speeches are associated with political battalions.
Decided by the municipalities
The Prime Minister explained that the proposal to abandon mass events is only a recommendation. No binding decisions have yet been made. In each case, the decision is made by the specific municipality.
“I think that many municipalities listen and understand that. We are now seeing results growing and doubling every two weeks due to those events where we were relaxed or, although not relaxed, it was simply not possible to manage potential risks naturally. We need to know that. The Center for Public Health publishes that information.
We receive information every day about the situation at the treatment facilities. (…) We manage risk. As for mass events, we recommend not holding any event in which it is not possible to register participants, to track where it would not be possible to maintain a safe social distance, to ensure that all participants are safe enough and protect others ”Said S. Skvernelis.
Delphi remember that the quarantine was introduced in Lithuania on March 16 and ended on June 16. An emergency situation is still in force in Lithuania, it entered into force on February 26.
