Interpreter for Sare Roma, president of the Lithuanian Roma community, who opened the Gypsy Lounge & Grill last year. Ištvanas Kvikas the changes are not disappointing either. According to him, vaccination is fundamentally important because it will help to overcome a pandemic.

If I am sick and can infect 10 more people, why am I not considered dangerous to others? So either you have to be vaccinated, or you have to not leave the house, you have to be isolated, ”said I.

When asked if he expects customer flows to decline, Mazal fully agreed.
“Fact. I think the number of customers will definitely decrease. We see how many people in society have not been vaccinated and have not been sick, there is no passport option.
