“All kinds of exotics [atmainų] we find: and we find a case of the same Lithuanian variant, two cases [radome] from the Gibraltar line, for the second week in a row we found a case from Gambia-Senegal, which was probably able to reach Lithuania through France ”, named R. Jurkevičius in the“ Delfi diena ”program.
At that time, the South African and Brazilian varieties, he said, were not detected.
According to the director of the Kaunas clinics, the National Center for Public Health (NVSC) works with people who are infected with the British strain. According to R. Jurkevičius, it is especially important to isolate these people and trace their contacts.
“We know that this variety spreads more easily, which means that more people can be infected under the same conditions. When more people become infected, the more can go to the hospital, become seriously ill, etc. This is a dangerous variety, ”said R. Jurkevičius.
According to him, the fact that several strains of coronavirus are detected abroad in Lithuania shows that even during quarantine, when the movement of people is reduced, the virus still spreads rapidly.
“It is difficult to decide when these cases arrived in Lithuania. We understand that quarantine must be observed, but people travel for work as well as study, and perhaps we should not be very condemned,” said the director of the Kaunas clinics.
However, he notes, the situation in the country’s hospitals is currently much better than at the end of last year, so the news about the varieties found in the British variant is less terrifying.
“If we had found such a British version in such quantity at the beginning of January or the end of December it would be terrible, because then we work with 30-35 beds in 11 hospitals in the region. Today we have 150 free beds and we already have 150 “crib” beds closed. The reserve is essentially ten times greater. I could assure people that the situation has improved significantly due to the strict quarantine of all of us, “said R. Jurkevičius on the program” Delfi diena “.
