The decision to allow practical driving again was made by the government a week ago after protests in the country’s big cities.

The government also considered submitting amendments to the Seimas on Wednesday, which would regulate mandatory testing for coronavirus, as well as driving instructors and examiners. However, due to the uncertainties in the drafting of the Cabinet of Ministers, the discussion of this issue in the Government was postponed to the session to be held on Wednesday afternoon.

The quarantine changes also stipulate that as of Wednesday, all arrivals must have a COVID-19 test performed no earlier than three days and a negative response.

The requirements do not apply to people in transit through Lithuania who are sick or vaccinated, or to people under 16 years of age. Until now, the tests could be carried out on arrival in Lithuania.

The second quarantine for the coronavirus pandemic in Lithuania was introduced on November 7 last year and is currently valid until the end of March. As the epidemiological situation improves, the government plans to gradually ease its limitations.

According to the Department of Statistics, 100 thousand new cases of coronavirus Population indicator in Lithuania reaches 237 in two weeks.
