According to A. Veryga, who contacted the media on Monday, the government will have to decide to declare a state of emergency in the country at its meeting on Wednesday.
Such a decision will also affect the organizers of sports competitions. According to A. Veryga, according to the emergency procedure, professional sports competitions in Lithuania may be held, but they will have to be held in empty corridors, without spectators.
Such a decision would take effect on Friday.
According to A. Veryga, it is not possible to follow the safety rules established in the stadiums where sports fans gather.
“In a scenario where people are admitted in order, everything changes when people are captivated. Then no one, without protection, no matter what is said, can control the situation,” said A. Veryga.
He compared the situation in sports competitions and the excitement of fans with the situation in nightclubs.
“Until you get sober and everything is fine, but when the night accelerates, the situation changes and ensuring safe conditions is not realistic,” he said.
We remind you that basketball competitions were the most visited in Lithuania. Kaunas Euroleague match “Žalgiris” with Istanbul “Anadolu Efes” was watched by 5011 spectators, the match with “Valencia Basket” – 5131 spectators.
The LKL match between Rytas and Žalgiris in Vilnius was also watched by more than 4,300 people at the Siemens Arena on Sunday, not all of whom met the established norms.
However, before the introduction of the emergency situation, an international match with spectators should take place in Lithuania. On Tuesday evening, at the Jeep Arena in Vilnius, the FIBA Champions League match “Rytas” will be played with the team “Peristeri” from Athens.
According to A. Veryga, the ban on cultural events for the disabled, where tickets are sold electronically, ensures access control and a distance of two meters between spectators.
The Cabinet of Ministers, meeting remotely on Monday, decided that the quarantine would be introduced in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and five other municipalities (Šilalė, Širvintos, Telšiai, Trakai and Vilnius districts) from Wednesday.
In total, a quarantine regime is being introduced in 21 municipalities in Lithuania.
