The last weekend of quarantine on Vilniaus Street. Although the sun that has been shining all week on Saturday night is no longer so warm, the capital is buzzing like a hive. Compatriots dine in outdoor cafes, others are still in a hurry to meet friends. Such vitality in one of the busiest places in the old town would not be a surprise last summer.
However, Lithuania, like the rest of the world, was hit by a dangerous coronavirus pandemic this year. Just a month ago, only one other person was walking around here. And a few weeks ago, almost everyone wore masks in public places. Face shields are no longer mandatory, they are only recommended.
“The city finally opened, that’s at least something to do, go out and meet friends. – Have you missed things like that? – Really, a lot. It is fun to go out both to the city and to the people. Everyone is tired of sitting at home. “
“It just caught my eye then. Everything is fine.”
“I am relaxed enough too, but I am very happy to hear it, I am anxious because there is still some tension.”
“It just came to our attention then. It is possible to be outside, that is the most important way to get out. We meet friends, we walk the streets, parks, since nothing is missing, we do not expect anything.”
A good month ago, Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius allowed entrepreneurs to turn the capital into a great outdoor café. The tables and chairs were carried by restaurants or bars to the small streets, squares and squares of the old town. This is one of the most popular places: on Savičiaus street. It is true that not everyone is satisfied with the compatriots sitting and dining under the windows. The windows of the apartment above the cafeteria are covered with stickers. They declare that children live here, so they should not make noise, smoke, or use uncensored words.
Although Lithuania is slowly recovering and can be proud to be among the best countries to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak, new cases are still being reported in the country. Five of them were reportedly confirmed last day, and currently 256 compatriots are still ill.
Epidemiologist Daiva Razmuvienė says four of the most recent cases have been identified in Vilnius County, and three of them are related to the village of Kalveliai, where the coronavirus is found. The disease spread among the banquet participants and those who had contact with them. Another case refers to the Santara clinics. COVID-19 was found in the body of the loved one. Well, the fifth was registered in Telšiai County and is already the 17th import case in June. Of course, the person returned from Sweden.
“There are many cases when you go through Sweden, you take a ferry, but don’t mention that you go by ferry.” And the trip from Norway, Finland, Sweden itself, takes 10-12 hours, so the contact is long. Sometimes people don’t admit they were on a ferry trip, “said Daiva Razmuvienė, an epidemiologist.
Although a coronavirus vaccine has not yet been developed, Western European countries are already negotiating its production. Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands have signed an agreement with pharmacists to ensure that 300 million, or two-thirds, of the possible doses of vaccine are produced in the European Union. It is slated to be created later this year.
