“We are approaching 1,000 people a day. The situation is serious and requires serious decisions. That is what we do. Those who say that this Government was not going to know should know that if we were not prepared, we would count the infected today, not by hundreds, but perhaps even by tens of thousands, “wrote the Prime Minister on the social network.
He also criticized the former competitors, the political forces that won the Seimas elections.
“The winning forces of the elections continue to criticize the old rivals. However, after receiving an invitation to sit down at the table and familiarize yourself with the situation in detail, plunge into the shadows. This is probably the new fashion of that Lithuania more However, I cannot agree with this tactic, because we are talking about managing COVID-19, we are trying to protect and save as many people as possible, “said the Prime Minister.
S. Skvernel recalled that the situation in other European countries is much worse.
“Perhaps those who have said and continue to say that the Lithuanian government is performing poorly would like to take an interest in the situation in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and especially in neighboring Poland? of infected people in these countries is ten or more times higher than we have in Lithuania. Did the governments of these states apparently do nothing and were not going to do anything? Not even more for us?
Everyone was getting ready. He applied different methodologies and tools, but still all of them. Unfortunately, the situation is also getting worse everywhere: both with us and with them. It is determined by many factors, but they do not change the essence, “wrote the Prime Minister.
In fact, the politician assured that the pandemic and its management was never a public relations campaign.
“Decisions are made, have been made and will be made by analyzing available data, monitoring trends, listening to recommendations and advice from specialists. Already on March 26. The medical working group formed in 2006 brought together 22 Lithuanian scientists and doctors from Vilnius University, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Cambridge University, Santara Clinics and Kaunas Clinics.
They analyze, are interested in global practice, work, provide suggestions and solutions that are implemented by the Ministry of Health, hospitals and other institutions. And listening to some politicians from the sofa gives the impression that we are making decisions “from the lamp” … “, – the Prime Minister assessed the situation.
The politician also recalled the proposal of the Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, to help the new government during the transition period.
“It just came to our attention then. The Chief of Operations, Minister of Health Aurelijus Veryga, publicly offered his help to the newcomers during the transition period. Deliver the works, know in as much detail as possible the current situation, the available resources, etc. Because we have nothing to hide. What response did you get? Public reflections on the fact that here the Minister is trying to transfer responsibilities! That is the decision and choice of the future. Apparently, this also strengthens Lithuania. I’ll just remind you of one thing: we all understand that the new SAM minister will sadly not have 100 days of “criticism free”, the Prime Minister wrote.
He stressed that the current government had never said that it was handling the coronavirus situation in the country “fantastically”.
“We have never said that we handle the situation in a fantastic way. We only said that we try to control it day and night. Every morning, SAM News Service announces more than an increasing number of infected people. A table with several sections is sent to all media” , wrote.
“Every Monday (more often if necessary) COVID-19 committee management meetings are held, to which doctors, mayors, scientists and others are invited. Groups of doctors, municipalities and communication specialists have been formed, who exchange information periodically.
We talk to whoever wants to talk.
Only one then uses it to accuse the government of secrecy, others to gather information for critics and a third (thanks again to the Strong Together initiative and others who have done heroic work in the fight against the coronavirus) to help, “he said the first Minister.
The prime minister ended his post on Facebook, stressing that every now and then it’s time to save lives.
“Not by statements, but by actual actions,” S. Skvernelis wrote on Facebook.
