Is the spread already out of control?
The number of infections in Lithuania is not decreasing as it would like and in some places it is growing. Specialists not only talk about the third wave of coronavirus, but also ensure that the virus has already become unmanageable in Lithuania.
“It just came to our attention then. If the NVSC admits that in 40-60 percent of cases the main source of infection has not been identified, it basically means that the virus is spreading uncontrollably,” said Saulius Čaplinskas, specialist in infectious diseases.
Mindaugas Stankūnas, a member of the Government’s Council of Health Experts, said the race against time is beginning.
“It is vital for us to win as soon as possible from the vaccinated society. This is the main weapon at the moment to vaccinate as many people as possible, because the situation can be quite serious,” said M. Stankūnas.
There was a commotion over the funeral.
On Monday, the news was sparked by news that the “social bubble” rule, which only applies to circular municipalities, has expired as a result of the change in quarantine rules. It turned out that the rules prohibit married couples and siblings from going to the funeral of a relative of the spouse.
The Ministry of Health (SAM) reassures and ensures that the police will apply the “reasonableness test”.
“Yes, you probably noticed a gap that you missed. (…) However, there is another point in the resolution that says that the municipality can be left for other important reasons. Isn’t the death of a close relative one of those causes? This is probably the answer there is, ”Aistė Šuksta, a representative of the Minister of Health, told BNS on Monday.
Ramūnas Matonis, a representative from the Police Department, said he had not heard of cases where officials did not allow a person to attend a funeral.
“If the family travels and says that it is really necessary for the spouse to leave, then the officer makes that decision. (…) If you drive with your relatives seated, we are probably saying that only a close person who has the right can drive ”, He commented.
