“I received requests from Lithuanians to help visit seriously ill dying relatives in medical institutions. Now, with very few exceptions, there are no such opportunities, so I speak publicly to the Minister of Health, the directors of large health care institutions and the decision-makers, ”says V. Blinkevičiūtė.
According to politicians, such bans, when seriously ill people are not allowed to visit outside of COVID-19, are too strict and require their relaxation.
“I am not talking about infectious diseases. I mean people who have suffered a stroke, people with other non-communicable diseases. About those people who can no longer call their relatives on the phone or access the living room window.
I understand: quarantine, it is necessary to protect yourself from COVID-19, the situation remains difficult. But aren’t those strict restrictions too cruel? Especially now that most doctors have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and there is an opportunity for visitors to get tested. When you are allowed to open large stores. Yes, trade is important, but are the seriously ill and their families less important? ”, Question V. Blinkevičiūtė.
