“We are at the same stage in the sense that there is no intention to relax or tighten the quarantine in the coming days (…). There aren’t many reasons to consider mitigation, say early January, but if the favorable dynamics persist and we can actually see that for a few weeks, then maybe sometime in the second half of January we can talk about somewhere, but certainly not all. restrictions would be lifted, “the head of government told LRT radio on Tuesday.

According to her, in order to objectively assess whether the restrictions introduced, including bans on population mobility, are also hampered on public holidays, a smaller number of tests were carried out during them. Therefore, it will only be possible to assess the situation in early January.

“I think that without the Three Wise Men we can’t say anything about the dynamics, the trend. Because now we have a set of separate episodes, but those individual episodes don’t tell us the story because there’s a lot of noise, weird circumstances that work directly. First of all, it’s four days of unemployment, “said I. Šimonytė.

According to her, “with caution” it can be said that the health system withstood the challenges on holidays.

“Those four days of unemployment were endured by our health system because, indeed, it could have been different. But this is not a reason to relax, because there is still a long way to go before a good trend can be confirmed as a good trend, ”said the Prime Minister.

The quarantine regime was introduced until January 31, during which time many shops and hair salons were closed, and the movement of people was restricted. Until January 3, there are stricter prohibitions without having to leave the municipality of residence, it is not allowed to travel by car to more than two or only people who live together.
