An NVSC representative warns of the bars: the virus is spreading there, other countries have already taken restrictions

Presenting the situation in Lithuania, Mr. Razmuvienė said that there are three chimneys in Vilnius.

Dance studios. To date, all 71 cases have been registered in Vilnius, and it was from the dance studio in September that certain restrictions were applied, something should change: registration, number of dancers, flow management, masks, all basic measures. And it is from dance studies that it has spread to other institutions: educational institutions, services where infected relatives or cases of tertiary secondary are registered ”, said D. Razmuvienė.

The next fireplace is the hockey competition in Elektrėnai. A total of 46 related cases were registered, of which 30 were registered in Vilnius. D. Razmuvienė also mentioned group sports training.

“A total of 40 cases were registered in Vilnius. The virus is transmitted from these sports clubs to other sports clubs; Whether the coaches work or the same family members visit another place, the virus spreads. Again, a significant number of people are registered in educational institutions, in various companies and in other work activities, “he added.

In Germany, Scotland, UK, working hours are limited

D. Razmuvienė emphasized that it is no secret that the virus is also spread in bars. According to her, from the age group of sick people, it can be seen that they are the youngest and most active people who visit bars.

“We now know six sick people who are associated with one of the bars in the old town and three more sick people who have visited another bar in the old town of Vilnius. While there is a lot of discussion here that it cannot spread much in those bars, it is unequivocal that it can spread. It is a closed space and neither the distances nor the basic specific measurements are really followed by anyone. And explaining to the sick, there are already fourteen of these bars that have visited. It is difficult to say whether a case can be extended there or not. But those of his trips to those bars, it is again such an extensive visit to both the discos and the bars, the sick.

Again, thinking about the fact that bars are different from other entertainment venues, they cannot be scattered there, certainly not true, because other countries in response to such a situation, the same Germans in different cities: both Berlin and Frankfurt They have introduced rules such that bars and restaurants must be closed on Saturdays, not work at night: open until 23:00, not open from 23 to 6 in the morning. These recommendations have been extended until the end of October. If it is seen that the spread and the number of cases will not be registered less daily, since the Germans register about 400 cases a day, they will take an extension of that rule so that those bars do not open. Frankfurt also prohibits the sale of alcohol at night.

In Scotland, bars, cafes and restaurants are prohibited from selling alcohol indoors for 16 days and must close at 6pm, except in hotel restaurants. The UK has the same restrictions on trade, visits and working hours. So that this is not a place where the virus cannot spread. This should be paid attention to the municipalities of all counties and respond to all the recommendations provided by the NVSC, there is no need to wait for the morbidity in one or another municipality to reach the Raseiniai level of morbidity ”, said D. Razmuvienė.

On Thursday, the NVSC issued recommendations to the city of Vilnius: temporarily restrict active leisure activities indoors, during which the use of respiratory protective equipment, such as group sports training, dance and singing studies, cannot be guaranteed. , and reduce the working hours of bars. On Friday, the director of the municipal administration, Povilas Poderskis, said that the municipality of the capital will increase the scope of the tests, will more actively remind residents of the security requirements, but until now it will not take the recommended restrictions on the hours of opening of bars and cafes.
