“We see that the issue is being actively discussed and, apparently, it may generate some fears in a part of the population, because before making any decision they wonder if services will be available.
It is to assure the population that the suspension of services will be the last resort. In the first place, other measures will be introduced that may restrict some activities, but no one will start from the suspension of health services, especially those scheduled or others, ”said the Minister.

He stressed that the situation in hospitals is being closely monitored.
“Today we have 39 percent of the so-called COVID-19 spare beds occupied. That is up to 75 percent. there are still tolokas. As far as I have had to follow the messages and speeches of those responsible for the polyclinics, who rightly fear that the services will be more difficult to access when the population is detained.
I understand that the managers are ready, they manage the flows properly, therefore there is no reason to stop the planned service ”, said A. Veryga.
What would be a warning sign?
The Minister specified that one of the criteria for limiting treatment services is the occupancy rate of COVID-19 reserve beds.
According to him, 75 percent. the so-called yellow traffic light would be lit and this would be a signal to rethink the processes involved in the provision of scheduled services in hospitals.
“Due to outpatient services, those indicators were compiled earlier, it was planned that 50 cases in Lithuania and 100 cases in a specific municipality.
We will certainly review these indicators, but they do not correlate much with inpatient employment. That is why it is necessary to change them ”, she said.
