“The COVID-19 situation in Lithuania is becoming unmanageable. While public officials say there are sufficient means to conduct testing, for some time now our treatment facilities have received a response from laboratories that it is necessary to reduce the scope of the tests because the amount of media is limited. With a high morbidity rate in our municipality, we are forced to reduce the scope of the investigation, “wrote the mayor of Raseiniai.
According to him, this means that only those who have had close contact with the patient will be able to perform tests while media is being saved.

“However, the reserve we have is finite. Currently we can do significantly less research and this will not allow us to see the real situation and the prevalence of the virus in society. Not to mention the asymptomatic transmitters of the virus, which constitute a large part of society. This situation forces us to take additional measures. Although temporarily, we have to stop the provision of scheduled outpatient services, – announced A. Bautronis on Facebook.
– This time we cannot hide the fact that the second wave of COVID-19 arrived in Lithuania unexpectedly. There was a lot of time to prepare. The task has not been redone. Why the means of investigation were not acquired in time remains an open question. Only this time this institutional inaction can have dire consequences. We are very hopeful and hopeful that the situation will be resolved in the near future. “
Delfi recalls that last Wednesday the director of the Vilnius municipal administration announced that the means to be used for the investigation had been exhausted at the National Laboratory and would not be available in the near future. At the time, Dan Bakša, director of the National Public Health Laboratory (NSPL), told Delfi that there was currently a lack of means for testing, but that there were no acquisitions through CPO LT to buy 410,000 units. tubes needed for coronavirus (COVID-19) tests.
A little later, the Ministry of Health (SAM) announced that 100 thousand. tubes needed for coronavirus testing.
