The mayor of Klaipda, Vytautas Grubliauskas, joked that the city’s coat of arms is dominated by two colors, red and yellow, and he hoped that Klaipėda would not be classified as red zone municipalities, that is, risky, and will remain at the less in yellow. Local quarantine has been announced in the municipalities of the Red Zone.

Raimundas Grigaliūnas, head of the Klaipėda department at the National Center for Public Health, said the situation had changed significantly during the week: until recently, as many cases were recorded during the week as now. About a quarter of the cases do not involve chimneys, making it difficult to trace the original source. “The main routes of dissemination are extracurricular activities, various trainings, competitions, art group activities, various meetings,” said R.
