“We are meeting at the State Commission for Emergency Situations, unfortunately, there are still not enough positive developments in the pandemic situation in Lithuania, although its acceleration has slowed down a bit.
Since the virus spreads mainly through hotspots, an extension of the movement restriction between municipalities is being considered. Will the movement restriction that ends today be extended? Unfortunately, yes, its impact and the trends of the pandemic situation will be evaluated again in two weeks, ”the minister wrote.
The government’s emergency commission proposes to extend movement controls between the country’s municipalities until January 31, a spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry told BNS.
“It is proposed to extend the restrictions on movement between municipalities until January 31, but on January 17 the results, morbidity, deaths and everything else will be reviewed, so it would be possible to lift the restrictions,” Lina Laurinaitytė-Grigienė told BNS.
According to her, this should be decided by the government in a meeting later on Sunday.
In order to control the spread of the coronavirus, the movement of people between municipalities was restricted without good reason in mid-December, until now it is valid until 9 pm
During the weekend before Christmas, as well as during the Christmas and New Years periods, tens of thousands of cars have already been ordered to turn around.
