Does this mean that the quarantine introduced on November 7 and now extended until December 17 does not work? The Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, Head of State-Level Emergency Operations, and Greta Gargasienė, Chief Specialist of the Infectious Disease Management Division of the National Center for Public Health (NVSC), answered these and other questions at a conference. news on Thursday.
A fracture is likely to occur at the end of the week.
G. Gargasienė noted that there are currently around 850 active outbreaks of COVID-19 in Lithuania. The most relevant of these is the Kudirka Naumiestis Parish Social Assistance Center for the elderly.
Santara Clinics Anesthesiology Pain Treatment and Intensive Care Center. In short, it is simply called the first resuscitation section.

“The most pressing question at the moment is the quarantine, if it is producing results. At the moment, according to the experts, we do not have that exponential growth as before. This is a good sign.
The morbidity curve, although slightly ascending, is a consequence of the relaxation we observed before quarantine. The term quarantine itself means 40 days in which we can expect a substantial result or effect.
Today, Lithuania is living the twentieth day of quarantine, so a break can be expected at the end of this week. But it is not yet the most appropriate time to evaluate the effect and the results, because the last 40 days are not yet, ”explained the NVSC representative.
In addition, according to G. Gargasienė, when evaluating the outbreaks, the result of the quarantine is already visible, because there are no outbreaks related to entertainment venues: dance studios, ice arenas, etc.
“Virus does not know, does not know the calendar”
When asked by the interim minister how he evaluated the comments that he had allegedly ordered the NVSC to instruct some MPs to isolate themselves, although it was not necessary to do so, Veryga replied that he had not heard such accusations.
“We have only heard similar conspiracy theories from some representatives of the liberal faction that it is a conspiracy to disrupt the voting in the Seimas.
Certainly no one sees such a conspiracy and more, I want to remind you that people who have had contact with an infected person and know this should not expect anything and isolate themselves. It is regrettable that certain misunderstandings have occurred and that the Seimas Chancellery has distributed a list of Seimas members who have not been instructed to isolate. NVSC then had to explain.
Unfortunately, the virus does not know, it does not know the calendar, it does not know when the elections are, when the Government or the Government program is approved. Unfortunately, if the members of the Seimas spend time together, have contact with the infected person, the disease spreads and they have to isolate themselves. It really shouldn’t be associated with any political event, “said A. Veryga.

“There are a number of tasks that must be done. The funds were allocated yesterday at the government meeting. Syringes, masks, gloves, disinfectant wipes and other supplies are available to obtain the necessary coolers, the purchase of vaccines and other necessary supplies.
Hopefully everything goes well and on time, but it is a sign that Lithuania is really preparing for the possible arrival of vaccines and vaccination of the population, ”said A. Veryga.
