The government is proposed to change the quarantine; many changes can be expected

For example, SAM proposes to allow physical service to visitors in the reading rooms of state libraries and archives located in all municipalities.

It is explained that employees of scientific institutions have obstacles in getting acquainted with the documents necessary for the implementation of research or projects in the reading rooms of the state archives, and this problem is especially relevant for the activities of the state archives operating in Vilnius . .

It is also proposed to repeal the subsection that prohibits people from leaving their place of residence, since the liberalization of more and more activities, without restricting the movement of people between municipalities, makes compliance with this requirement obsolete.
