“We will see what the behavior of the people will be like. If these commercial institutions become a place of entertainment (…), then, without a doubt, this is one of the areas where there is something to harden. Then it is possible to follow the experience from some European countries, although it is true that you can only go to the store to meet some basic needs, “the prime minister told Knowledge Radio on Thursday.
I. Šimonytė pointed out that a stricter restriction would mean that in existing supermarkets it would be possible to buy only the most necessary products: food and hygiene.
“There are several states that allow you to go to such stores (that sell various assortments – ELTAs) just to buy food and hygiene items, and everything else is wrapped in STOP tape and not sold.” In most countries it is not there is such a restriction, but it all depends in the first place on whether people decide to spend more time in these stores than they need, ”he said.
A government decree on Wednesday will not ban the sale of non-food items in stores whose main activity is the food trade.
The government discussed the restriction on Monday, acknowledging that it distorted competition, but did not make a decision.
“I don’t have a good decision and I don’t think any of those present at the meeting or making decisions are happy and we recognize that the little ones will be affected, but now take additional repressive measures and wrap shampoos or other products in supermarkets with more energy STOP “. – The Minister of Economy and Innovation Aušrinė Armonaitė said on Monday.
On Sunday, the government extended the quarantine until January 31, in addition to tightening quarantine measures: restricting movement from one municipality to another, banning non-essential goods stores, leaving food, optical and orthopedic hardware stores open, pharmacies and veterinary services.
