“It is difficult to predict if you will need the same as Easter. I think it will show those next three weeks when the government decides the quarantine. If the situation begins to improve, and if the health system can breathe better, maybe we will not need restrictions like in Easter, “said A.Veryga on Tuesday when asked how Christmas will be this year.
But he added that the theoretical possibility of limitations on Christmas should not be ruled out.
Stores will not close, but cafes and restaurants, completely
According to A.Veryga, the content of the quarantine is still being harmonized, but efforts will be made to limit meetings as much as possible.
Starting Saturday, midnight will be offered introduce universal quarantine for at least three weeks. Its publication will ban more than two family members (up to 10 people), schools will be offered the switch to blended learning, sports clubs will have to close their doors and food will only be available to go.
The opening hours of the stores, both food and non-food, will not be limited, but the kitchen companies will.
As for the shops, there was no offer to stop work at all, but there are strict requirements, there must be at least 10 square meters per person. Cafes and restaurants cannot technically operate under the same conditions, it would not be possible to let more people in when more people come ”, commented the Minister on why such measures are proposed.
According to A. Veryga, in places where alcohol is consumed, people lose their vigilance, so it was decided to offer to stop working for this reason as well.
Tighter measures are expected to be needed in the short term
“The main goal is to stop all possible unnecessary social contacts. The discussion was very difficult, but there is a tendency to apply practices that have proven successful abroad, “he said, so it was decided that quarantine was necessary.
According to A.Veryga, a good example is Raseiniai: morbidity above 1,100 now reaches more than 300.
“This will also be achieved through the implementation of stricter measures at the national level in the hope that they will be necessary in a shorter period of time,” the minister said.
According to A.Veryga, personal vacations should be canceled or postponed.
“How long we have in quarantine will depend on behavior,” he said.
According to him, the Ministry of Finance assured that the measures in the spring will be guaranteed and during this quarantine, the doctors will receive supplements.
R.Veryga agreed that it might be early to decide if local quarantines didn’t work. He mentioned the example of Raseiniai again, where the situation had improved.
“The problem is that almost all of Lithuania is turning red and yellow, the situation is changing rapidly, we have exponential growth, we see that territorial quarantines are giving limited results,” which is why local quarantines are being abandoned, he said.
According to A. Veryga, if the numbers are double, it is logical that they are also double in patient treatment institutions.
According to A.Veryga, the hotline really fails to answer all calls, another request was sent on Tuesday to help the military respond.
Non-believers are a real threat to society
How to choose a nicer word here. It is a pity that educational gaps generate such a large number of people, ”said A. Veryga, referring to people who do not believe in the coronavirus and rush to hospitals to check if there really are patients there.
According to him, they are usually the same people.
According to him, law enforcement should see this as a dangerous activity that poses a real threat to society, not an imaginary one.
