In the discussion on managing the crisis caused by COVID-19, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė stated that the assessment is early.
“For me, the genre itself is a bit strange because that pandemic did not end with the devil, and can we judge here? We can evaluate some episodes, but our evaluation is very locked into such an episode, even sometimes we cannot make completely correct decisions and conclusions, ”he said.
Speaking of the former government’s decisions, the prime minister said he was not inclined to criticize them without several attempts to remove Seimas from decisions during the pandemic. However, he noted the summer period.

“One thing that, in my opinion, led to what was coming next was that summer episode that probably contributed a lot to what we have now.
The government released the quarantine as soon as it could, that’s why I have no major complaints, but throughout that summer people were able to behave like people, they were tired, <...> but the government had to take it very seriously. There were not many people who said there would be no autumn episode, some of them had very threatening conjectures, which, as we can see from the situation, turned out to be the most, ”said I. Šimonytė.
He rhetorically asked, “Won’t we buy precious time?”
According to the Prime Minister, many decisions could have been made before the start of the second wave of the pandemic. While the quarantine, he said, was also criticized by some people, it was a good decision.
“But the fact that nine months into the crisis is not long enough to discover that the NVSC cannot accept the deaths of e. health, these are parodies of life, <...> that compromise the state, ”said I. Šimonytė.
According to her, when it is made public, people are watching, thinking that something is being hidden by the state, which, according to the prime minister, could have important consequences.
Experts participate in handling a pandemic too late
The Minister of Health, Arūnas Dulkys, agreed with the participants in the discussion that crises “expose us, strip us and then show not only the consequences, but also the causes.” In his opinion, we are currently in a natural stage.
Speaking of the experts and their involvement in the management of the pandemic, the minister highlighted when it was too late.
“We are all happy to have experts involved, to help us, to get involved, to have their voices heard. That, in fact, is very good, I want to emphasize. But we also have a lesson to learn.
They [ekspertai – red.] He was not empowered to help anyone in state processes. At a time when there is a planning stage, there is preparation, and now that there is a front line, at a time when soldiers have to respond to an opponent’s shots from the virus, we say, wait, dear virus, here we’ll talk a little more about how to shoot you.
It is very good that we have agreed, but my message for the future is that we do not have to agree at this stage. <...> and here we understand it, before the virus touches the country twice, our actions are only to measure our shoes, “said A. Dulkys in the discussion.

He noted that to this day, threat signals have been received and continue to be received not only related to the pandemic, but not enough attention has been paid to them.
He emphasized that Lithuania has been one of the safest countries in various studies for a long time and although it is not believed inside that something could happen, it is necessary to strengthen institutions and pay attention to ensuring reserves.
