Symptomatic cases predominate
R.Lingienė, the head of the Vilnius department of NVSC, said that 98 out of 133 cases feel the symptoms of the coronavirus.
“Symptomatic forms of the disease have prevailed in recent times,” he emphasized.
According to R. Lingienė, the situation is stable, but registering more than 100 per day “this is not what we expect and what we work for”.
We usually register cases that have already been isolated, which means that they have not been able to spread the infection.
The specialist stressed that most of the cases are registered in chimneys.
“Usually we record cases that have already been isolated, which means that they have not been able to spread the infection,” he said.
Blames local authorities for the situation in Raseiniai
Speaking about the situation in Raseiniai, Minister A.Veryga said on Friday that the situation at the Blinstrubiškės welfare home is bad.
“Another example is that systemic staff shortages and lack of a network of health care facilities can be devastating,” he said. According to the minister, there were no doctors who came to the social care institution and evaluated the condition of the patients.
A.Veryga emphasized that the municipal emergency commission should not rest.
“It is scandalous that in a week and a half, a municipality that has its own hospital, its own primary health care center, would not have doctors who could go to a social care institution and assess the condition of the patients. Seeing that the situation is really critical, we spoke and got help from the clinics of the University of Health Sciences and a team of doctors went to assess the condition of the patients over the weekend, but it really is a very bad example and you’ll probably agree that college doctors should do a little different job. instead of solving those problems, “he said.
R. Lingienė said he could thank the residents of Raseiniai for the fact that they were investigating more actively.
“There were no places at the mobile station today, there were 11 left tomorrow, but there are places for Sunday and Monday,” he said.
