Landsbergis: Conservatives Would Verify COVID-19 Data After Election Win

While awaiting the election results Sunday night, the politician said he was skeptical that epidemiologists had reviewed the daily data on Sunday night.

The Health Ministry says the error occurred because the rapid growth in the number of cases is beginning to generate a lack of human resources to process the data.

“It is very surprising that the same day that Lithuania did not count the cases is the day of the second round of the elections. Such a coincidence is probably more than resentful. And it is already clear that people who are making hypotheses on social networks have tried to hide the real situation from the people by alleviating it a bit, without reducing the chances of people going to the elections, ”G. Landsbergis told LRT television.

Landsberg said that many questions were raised about the general management of the second wave of the pandemic and that it was difficult for conservatives to know the real situation while in opposition.

“We simply do not receive the information, it is very formal or very limited. If the choice of voters led to changes, first of all those changes would start with a briefing on the real situation in Lithuania, what we calculate and how much we can trust those figures, we would like both us and the public to know the real truth, “he said.

When asked about a specific outbreak management plan, G. Landsbergis says that he would trust the decisions of the list leader, Ingrida Šimonytė, on this issue. He said that conservatives in handling the situation would seek to listen more and trust the opinion of experts and speak about it openly.

“As far as I know, Ingrida Šimonytė has mentioned that she is considering specific personalities that could help resolve that situation. I would like to leave Ingrida Šimonyte to comment and communicate this situation. I am confident that she is determined to do whatever it takes, ”said the TS-LKD leader.

On Sunday evening, the National Public Health Center (NVSC) reported that 603 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Lithuania every day, killing five people. This is the highest number of infections since the start of a pandemic.

Previously, the NVSC announced around 415 new cases. The NVSC noted that this was the case when “particularly heavy workloads” did not allow a positive test result to be linked and the primary statistics did not reflect the actual situation.
