“Presenting the coronavirus morbidity indicators distinguishing between city and county results would really make sense, because now it is often Vilnius county statistics and presented as city data, which fundamentally distorts the situation. real, they create tensions in society and do not help professionals to work with real critical points. ” – R. Šimašius testified in BNS.

Matijošaitis submitted a request to the National Center for Public Health (NVSC), requesting to begin providing separate indicators of the incidence of coronavirus infection in at least five cities and their counties.
