Government will be offered to extend quarantine: release scenarios will be updated every two weeks

The epidemiological situation in the country was discussed at a meeting of the Government Emergency Commission (IACC) on Monday, and the Ministry of Health (SAM) presented a phased plan for the release of quarantine restrictions.

After the meeting, Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė announced that the Government would be offered to change the quarantine to extend it for one more month.

“After hearing the numbers, of course we can say that the situation is improving a bit today, we see positive numbers. However, the acceleration of the drop itself has slowed down a bit. After evaluating all the arguments and figures that were expressed, the decision was made to propose to the Government that the quarantine be valid for one more month, until February 28, “said the Minister.

“We see that the curve of the disease is decreasing, it is the result of a strict quarantine, but the results are not yet what we are looking for, so we propose to extend the quarantine. We hope that in the near future we will also be able to offer the first releases for businesses, ”said the Interior Minister, President of the Government Emergency Commission A. Bilotaitė.
