Limited number of people in cars

On Wednesday night, the government decided to limit the number of people in a car.

It is proposed to regulate that only one family, members of a household or no more than two people who do not live together can drive in cars during the strict quarantine.

The Minister of Transport and Communications, Marius Skuodis, proposed to complement this proposal by allowing drivers of custom-made cars or taxis not to be included in this number of people.

Prohibits practical driving training

SAM, taking into account the proposal of the Ministry of Transport, proposed to prohibit the practical training of driving vehicles during the quarantine period.

Current regulations prohibit the practical test of vehicle drivers, but not the practical training of vehicle drivers.

This error was also corrected by the Government.

Reminder for companies

The Minister of Economy and Innovation Aušrinė Armonaitė, presenting the proposed amendments at the Government meeting, explained that they are necessary so that small businesses know that they can operate remotely.

“We propose to clarify a subparagraph of the resolution, indicating that not only online commerce is possible, but also distance selling. So that people know that they can act, we want to clarify that wording,” said the Minister, referring to small Business.

It was also decided to allow the operation of not only online funeral homes, but also physical ones.

Proposal of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports

It was also decided on the proposal of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports to allow pupils educated in special schools and special classes of general education schools to provide employment services during school holidays.

“Students educated in special schools and special classes of general education schools can obtain employment during student leave, ensuring the flow of people, maintaining a safe distance and other necessary requirements of public health, hygiene and protective equipment personnel established by the Manual of emergency operations at the state level. conditions ”, establishes the resolution.

“We do not think that children with severe disabilities could receive employment lessons during the holidays,” Minister of Education, Science and Sports Jurgita Šiugždinienė presented this proposal at the government meeting.

Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys stated that this decision is urgent and should be discussed with epidemiologists.

“The real mixing would start here, not in vain and it was not allowed to do so during the first quarantine,” said A. Dulkys. He suggested that this proposal be made after discussing the proposal with experts.

However, the expert board had already considered the matter, so the cabinet blessed the post.

Free movement

The government was also considering a possible permit for residents to move between cities and districts in the ring municipalities. However, so far it has been decided to abstain from such a decision.

Such an amendment is proposed by the Government Emergency Commission (WESC).

Police say that many urban residents are connected to districts and vice versa, and this would also avoid traffic congestion and help save the capacity of officials during checks.

“As a result, we saw huge traffic jams over the weekend,” Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė put the question to the government.

The Minister alluded to the need to give due consideration to this issue before its adoption.

“We need to evaluate if we can go down that path,” said the politician.

Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys has proposed refraining from considering this proposal for the time being.

A. Bilotaitė stated that if this decision is not made, perhaps these processes can be controlled by technical solutions.

Prime Minister I. Šimonytė also called on the responsible institutions to solve this problem with technical solutions.

“Now we are talking about a time when things are ‘for the guests’, for the ‘store’. I want to be sad that the rather reduced mobility increased again earlier this week. But the question of how much he jumped may have calmed down over the holidays. I would suggest refraining from such changes that would significantly encourage mobility on holidays, ”said Prime Minister I. Šimonytė.
