Klaipeda residents are terrified of Vilnius residents: they have to interpret the bans because they don’t understand otherwise

But it is almost unanimous that the previous government left the people to their fate when they made no such decisions in October.

“I live in Jakai, we only have one local store. And in Barbora you have to order the merchandise three days in advance. The closest normal store is in Klaipeda. As long as I could, I hurried to buy. On Mondays, I always try to buy during a whole week until there are fewer people in the shop, ”says a resident of Jakai in the Klaipėda district.

“I am a doctor myself, I think it was necessary to limit much earlier. Now the situation is that, in theory, Vilnius children can still come because they are registered here. In Vilnius, they work from home, they monitor me at work. Easy on the virus, we understand that we must be careful. The bans are written not for those who really assess the situation, but for those who otherwise do not understand the need to protect themselves and others. With such and unique bans on fall. Those decisions are needed for a long time, even in October. I think now we would have other numbers and holidays, “the woman shares.

Another Klaipeda district resident says that after returning from Vilnius, where he visited children, and seeing how people behave in the capital, he is no longer surprised that movement bans are needed.

“I walk through the city without masks, man to man. In Klaipeda, people still keep their distance, in Vilnius I really carried how people ignore and fear nothing. Clearly, such fall under the prohibitions of interpretation, because otherwise they do not understand. Now I ran shopping for the day because I realize that there will be crowds of people after the bans are announced in stores. It’s already full, ”says the Klaipėda citizen.

“After a few days, the promised restrictions changed the purchase plans. We live with my family in the suburbs, Ginduliai. There is a store there, so the choice is limited. Well, we can last six weeks, there will be enough food. More concerned about where it would be possible to take a walk, because during the first quarantine we drove to the forest or to the sea with the children, people visited there, but far from each other. I wonder how it will be this time. The morbidity figures are truly alarming. And a lot of negative people came up as if it wasn’t real. Because of them, we all have to live with prohibitions, ”says a Ginduliai resident who left the mall with a full shopping cart.

Klaipeda officials awaiting the latest instructions from the Police Department recall that the plans are not much different than those already tested at Easter.

“Signs will be built, drivers will be checked. It is understandable that people go to work in the city from the districts, you just have to remember to” arm yourself “with documents so that there are no problems. For trying to leave the place of residence, no there will be someone who will punish the district, we will tell them to turn around. However, if a person does not comply with the legal requirements of the police, there are, of course, penalties for doing so. We understand that some older people see a young police officer as a child. However, that young worker is a police officer and if an older person behaves disrespectfully out of legal ignorance, he may be fined for insulting the officer. Well, we are not Germany or another country that is very advanced, we understand that there will be conflict situations, but we will do our job. We are still waiting for the last instructions from the Police Department, then we will know all our actions clearly “, says Mindau gas Džermeika, Chief of the Klaipėda County Police Chief Commissariat’s Road Police Service.
