“So far, it seems that we have a more stable situation or at least we are getting closer to it,” L. Ašoklienė told LRT radio on Monday morning.
According to her, it is difficult to evaluate the data of the holiday period so far, because the lower number of cases is related to the smaller scope of the study, but some conclusions allow to conclude that the number of positive cases of all studies remains stable.
According to L. Ašoklienė, stronger conclusions could be drawn next week.
“The lower number of cases is probably due to fewer investigations, but we are seeing a constant proportion of positive cases from all investigations, which seems to indicate that the situation is more or less stable,” he said.
“It is very likely that next week will show the real situation and we will not see increasing numbers, or at least we will have a more stable situation,” he said.
According to the epidemiologist, the number of deaths and serious illnesses continues to rise and the situation in hospitals remains difficult. The highest incidence of coronavirus is recorded in Alytus.
