Jurgita Sejonienė, a member of the Seimas Health Committee, says on the Delfi Day program that it is still too early to talk about improving the situation; we have to wait at least next week.
“I think it is necessary to appreciate that although the measures (during the festive period) were very strict, not everyone really followed them. Those who were able to circumvent the restrictions have apparently seized the opportunity and scientists have repeatedly warned that it is still too early to talk about improvement, so far it is certainly not very strong, we cannot say that we have already made any progress, we still have to wait next week. and evaluate the effect of the holidays. However, some people did not listen to the invitation and visited each other and that spread of the virus was more effective than before, ”says the interlocutor on the program.
According to her, the measures should have been taken earlier, not when the virus had already swept the country. According to the interlocutor, there are already few strict measures in reserve, so hopefully they will help to manage the situation.
“I think the measures themselves are not so much, because there are not many measures in the reserve, it is clear that more can be applied, but here I would highlight the moment when we began to apply the measures. The effect would have been better if we had introduced those measures earlier, rather than when that increase and spread within the country had already started. Apparently the delay in taking action is significant and we see the consequences, ”said J. Sejonienė on the show.
We no longer have reservations
When asked in the program how well the hospitals are, the interviewee assured that the situation in medical institutions is extremely complicated.
“The situation in the health system is the most complicated. A large number of health institutions, especially those with a large number of patients, especially in Vilnius, Panėvėžys region, are overcrowded. It should be noted that the flows of hospitalized patients have increased. redistributed, there are fewer of them lighter, the number of those who need intensive care has increased, which is also reflected in the mortality statistics – we have a higher number of deaths.
These are the consequences, the situation in health institutions is complicated, lack of staff. It is good that there are volunteers, but I doubt very much that we still have time and reserves to wait for the health institutions, ”said J. Sejonienė in the program.
Celebrate the decision to postpone Mass
When talking about the mass, the interlocutor assured that he welcomed the decision to postpone the mass until the end of January.
“Once again I can rely on the idea expressed by Professor Mindaugas Stankūnas that it is too early to mitigate the measures, we have no guaranteed signs that the situation is improving and each mitigation and release must be considered very critically.
Of course, it is possible to understand people’s fatigue, probably more psychological support, the help of the clergy. I invite you to abstain from Mass until the end of January and reach out to the faithful by other means, such as the Internet, calls and the like, ”said J. Sejonienė in the program.
