“Through human effort, we have entered the C stage. This means that there are opportunities, although not the widest ones, but opportunities to review our future actions, to give new colors to our lives,” wrote Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys on social media on Saturday. .
As of January 30, morbidity in the country amounted to 467 cases per 100,000. population in 14 days. According to the experts’ recommendation to the Government, scenario C of quarantine restrictions could be applied when the number of infections exceeds 100 cases per 100,000. population in 14 days (scenario D applies when the number of infections exceeds 500).
The news portal tv3.lt remembers what is meant by C quarantine script and what restrictions can be applied during it.
2 households can communicate
In this scenario, contacts between two households are allowed, with a maximum of 10 participants in the two-household bubble.
Those involved in the social bubble of the two households agree not to have any more close contacts outside the bubble. If there are people at risk in the bubble, it is also recommended to wear masks, keep a distance of 2 meters, ventilate the room where the meetings are held.
To change the composition of the bubble, its members agree not to have any close contact with the members of the bubble or with the outside for at least 10 days.
Activities of health care and social work institutions
Scenario C preserves the planned health care services. Priority is given to emergency care and the care of patients with COVID-19. Restricted access to social care institutions. Treatment and care center staff and patients are regularly tested.
Changes in education
Under Scenario C, students would continue to distance learning, with exceptions for health, veterinary, and life sciences.
We would see changes in primary, secondary and primary education. The teaching process, in scenario C, is carried out in the classroom through regular tests by teachers and students.
Preschool and preschool education is provided at the national level. At the local level, stricter restrictions may apply depending on the epidemiological situation. Employees of all educational institutions are evaluated periodically.
Open doors for shops
Scenario C will not bring much joy to cafe and restaurant owners, because as in scenario D, the activities of the catering establishments are limited, the food is provided to take away only.
More freedom is granted in the commercial sector, which is not limited to the food trade. This means that stores that sell non-essential products can also open their doors. However, they must follow strict guidelines, restricting customer flows and applying special service requirements to reduce the risk of infection.
No changes are expected in the service sector, which continues to provide remote and contactless services, with the exception of health services, psychologists / psychotherapists (where applicable), veterinarians, police and others, whose personnel are regularly reviewed.
We keep restricting movement, forbidden events
Scenario C also brings little change to movement control, as it foresees restrictions between or within municipalities, depending on the epidemiological situation. In Scenario C, restrictions may apply when traveling to foreign countries or when arriving in Lithuania: border control, tests to travelers.
Meetings of people, cultural activities, sporting and leisure events are also prohibited. The number of participants in funerals and weddings must not exceed 10 people. There are no museums, theaters, exhibitions, cinemas, or sports competitions, except professional sports training and competitions without spectators.
Much more freedom is expected when scenario B is reached. Of course, it provides for the opening of cafes, museums and cinemas restricting the flows of customers.
This scenario could apply when 25 to 100 cases reach 100,000. population in 14 days.
Decisions on quarantine releases can be made from Monday, which will be considered by the Government’s Emergency Commission, and the Government can make them in a meeting the same day.
In Lithuania, the quarantine was announced on November 7 last year, its regime tightened from December 16 and extended last week until early March.
