According to Daiva Razmuvienė, an epidemiologist at NVSC, epidemiologists continue to record a break in the curve of the coronavirus outbreak last week..
“What we see in the outbreak curve is gratifying. Last week, the downtrend in breakouts not only persisted, but also saw a more significant break in the curve than in the weeks before it reached around 30 percent each week. This means that the impact of vaccination on the epidemiological situation is particularly significant. This is a very good and long-awaited result, showing that we can defeat the virus through vaccination.
