In fact, while acting as Minister of Health at the time, A. Veryga suggested at the board meeting that we could install various pathways for the members of the Seimas that could be subject to self-isolation, I think everything was done well and the reproaches of the opposition: more manipulation. V. Čmilytė-Nielsen commented to reporters on Tuesday.

He also stated that the fact that members of the Seimas behave in a deliberate manner is also demonstrated by the small number of infected Seimas COVID-19 members.

“We have taken several security measures in the Seimas and, as I have said many times, we will be able to vote quickly and remotely. I believe that all Seimas members are aware, they assess the risk themselves and, as we can see in a really small number of sick Seimas members, apparently they do it consciously and appropriately, ”said the president of Seimas.

He confirmed that he would let the police into the parliament building if the crew arrived. The agents were summoned by the “peasant” Dainius Gaižauskas, after the opposition accused L. Kasčiūnas of violating the self-isolation requirements after contact with a person with coronavirus.

The representative of the Vilnius County Police, Julia Samorokovskaya, confirmed to BNS that at 1:51 p.m. A notification was received that a member of the Seimas was violating the self-isolation procedure.

According to her, upon receiving the report, the officials contacted specialists from the National Center for Public Health (NVSC), who assured that L. Kasčiūnas was not included in the lists of people in self-isolation, so the report was not substantiated .

On Tuesday, during the vote in the Seimas on the adoption of next year’s budget, L. Kasčiūnas worked from the interpreter booth in the plenary hall. He claimed to want to protect his colleagues in this way because he could have been in contact with a person infected with COVID-19.

Seimas member L. Kasčiūnas told BNS that he had not received an instruction from the NVSC to isolate himself due to contact with a Seimas employee infected with COVID-19, but on his own initiative the Seimas is trying to get away from his colleagues.

The deputy also said that he had been tested for coronavirus and received a response Tuesday morning that the result was negative.

“I have not received instructions, but I am protecting the members of the Seimas from myself, although last night I did an exam and received a negative answer this morning, despite all this, I am thinking that maybe I was at a distance during the session on Wednesday when there was a contact, or not, and after thinking about the situation, I am in voluntary isolation, ”L. Kasčiūnas told BNS.

He said that he had come to work on foot from Lazdynai, had entered the Seimas through the side entrance and, according to the Chancellery, the conditions had been created to vote separately.
