“Growth must stop first, because we have had exponential growth, the number of cases has practically doubled every week, and first this trend must stop, stabilize and begin to decrease at least a little bit, then we can say that the quarantine is working “. Position, “said A. Veryga.
According to him, it will take time for the quarantine to have an impact on reducing new diseases.
“Of course, patients who go to medical institutions with COVID-19. There will be some delay, the virus has its own incubation period of about a week. There are many things that are delayed at least a week. Even with the introduction of measures, we will probably not see the result in the first second days. We will have to wait. And again it will give some psychological discomfort to the fact that the measures already exist, must be followed, cause dissatisfaction and the figures may not really be what the public would expect to see. You have to understand that the effect will be delayed, ”said the minister.
“If we follow the measures, those countries, Ireland, Israel, their practice has shown that there are results in taking measures,” he added.
If the quarantine did not work, according to A. Veryga, even more control would be chosen for the places of possible meetings.

“Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to attack the virus with a pistol,” Ironga said wryly.
Local restriction strategy did not work
Managing the COVID-19 pandemic through local quarantine has not been effective, says Healthcare A. Veryga.
“It just came to our knowledge then. The only thing we did not know, but also the other countries did not know, was that they had opted for a local quarantine strategy, or local specific restrictions, which unfortunately did not work,” the minister told News Radio on Thursday. .
A. Veryga also emphasized that although the local quarantine helped control the pandemic situation in Raseiniai, its spread was too rapid for local restrictions to control the coronavirus in other parts of the country.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Although local (quarantine – ELTA) was activated in Raseiniai, elsewhere the spread is so fast that neither the speed nor the means to control it were sufficient. And those countries that have really very high powers, the Germans themselves, the French, unfortunately, did not think of anything smart than (apply universal – ELTA) quarantine. And, unfortunately, we do the same, “he said.
The government is introducing universal quarantine in the country starting Saturday. Additional restrictions were also decided during it.
