According to him, the important thing is that sick older people over 60 remain similar to before.
“The situation is very similar to the previous weeks,” he concluded.
He said the proportion of positive tests for all tests remained stable, perhaps even slightly higher. The same is observed both in mobile points and in other cases.
“The situation is not improving,” said A. Šimaitis.
In addition, the number of positive tests increases even when tests are removed after prophylactic tests are performed and when people with symptoms or who have been in contact with infected Covid-19 are tested.
“We do not have a drastic increase, but it is too early to talk about it,” said A. Šimaitis.
Furthermore, the situation in hospitals is worrying, as there is a rapid increase in the number of people treated in resuscitation, as the number of patients decreases more easily. This means that patients become heavier and the pressure on hospitals increases.
It is likely, according to A. Šimaiitis, that the death and bereavement statistics will remain at a similar level for several more weeks, as they lag behind in the number of cases.
But the good news is that human mobility has reached spring levels both at work and on holidays, and mobility and morbidity are directly related data.
“There is a very strong connection between decreased mobility and decreased cases, it only takes a few weeks,” said A. Šimaitis.
It is expected if the slight improvement trend observed is sustainable, which, according to A. Šimaiitis, will take another 7-10 days.
According to him, the number of Rs, which indicates the rate of spread of the virus, has fluctuated in recent days: sometimes slightly above one and sometimes falling to just under one. The infection transmission rate, or the R coefficient, indicates how much the patient can infect other people during the course of the disease.
“The health system seems to have weathered the holidays,” said Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė. “We can’t say we don’t have tension here.”
According to her, it is important to note that the number of intensive care and resuscitation facilities in hospitals is rapidly declining, as these services are increasingly needed for Covid-19 patients. Currently, this situation is the one that is causing the greatest tension in hospitals.
Covid-19 situation based on data from January 2
2021 January 2 According to the data, the 14-day incidence rate of Covid-19 disease (coronavirus infection) was 1,286.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The situation in the municipalities is very different: the 14-day morbidity rates range from 2,040 cases in 100,000 municipalities in the city of Alytus (city of Panevėžys – 2014, district of Pakruojis – 1843) to 481 in the municipality of Neringa.
The growth rate of morbidity has decreased, but in 2020. December 29 the highest number of cases was recorded during the entire period of the pandemic: 3,920, and the number of positive cases has also increased relative to the number of all exams performed (reached 24% during Christmas week).
The last 2020 The number of deaths from Covid-19 disease (coronavirus infection) continued to increase by approximately 15% in week 1. The number of hospital admissions remains stable, with a total of 2,523 patients currently treated for disease Covid-19 (coronavirus infection), including 1996 for oxygen therapy, 220 for resuscitation and intensive care units, and 163 for artificial lung therapy. ventilation).
It should be noted that evaluating the actual data presented is difficult as fewer studies were conducted on weekends and holidays. Given that morbidity rates vary greatly from one municipality to another and vary several times, the number of positive cases has increased compared to the total number of studies carried out and the number of serious patients in hospitals is growing, it is proposed to extend the restriction of circulation between municipalities until 2021. January 31, as the current restriction expires in 2021. January 3 24:00
The government supported the proposal to extend the ban: the travel restriction between municipalities will last longer.
The adopted Government Resolution reads as follows: “from 2020. December 16 00:00 until 2021 January 31 24:00 In the territory of the Republic of Lithuania, the movement of people between municipalities is restricted, except in the cases in which they are addressed to: the municipality of their place of residence; to a municipality other than that of your place of residence due to the death of close relatives; work (for commercial purposes) when the workplace is in another municipality; to or from international passenger routes to or from airports, seaports, bus stations; about health services; for other objectively justified reasons of urgency, when travel to a municipality other than the one in which you reside is unavoidable. This restriction does not apply to people who are members of the same family or of a household who move to a municipality other than their own, where they own real estate owned by one of the members of the family or household. “
During the weekend before Christmas, as well as during the Christmas and New Year periods, several tens of thousands of cars have already been delivered.
