“It just came to our attention then. It means people are already registering,” RNSiniai district mayor Andrius Bautronis said on Sunday.
“Tomorrow we will decide on the need for the second point. (…) We will see if we have a couple of full days, then we will try to talk about the second point,” added the mayor.
He considered that the initially slow tests could have been driven by the work of professionals in institutions, encouraging people to investigate.
According to the mayor, in the past, the heads of the institutions themselves were skeptical about this, worried that the detection of COVID-19 cases would lead to the failure of shift work.
According to A. Bautronis, the situation in the district is now gradually stabilizing.
“At least it has stabilized, because there are not such drastic jumps in the number at the moving point,” he noted.
Raseiniai is still looking for people who can work in the Blinstrubiškės welfare home. According to the National Center for Public Health on Sunday, four more cases related to the outbreak rose to 103.
According to the mayor, the aim is to make up for the shortage of employees at the institution, which has occurred due to the illness of some employees and some of them in self-isolation, and the institution’s employees who have been isolated are gradually returning to work.

The institution has received several doctors who can work here, but there is a shortage of more nurses and nursing assistants.
