If this doesn’t happen, he said, the severe restrictions on non-immunities may be lifted on Sept. 13.

“We have to bear in mind that on September 1 awaits us, when the students will return to schools, to contact Education. That is already the case, and Israel is observing, even as a state vaccinated with a very high percentage, that the growth in the number of cases when students return to school has accelerated in a very pronounced way, “said the head of government in an interview with InfoTV on Thursday.

“Even if we see some stabilization now, we will probably still have to monitor the situation after September 1,” he added.

According to I. Šimonytė, with the rapid increase in new infections and the increased filling of COVID-19 beds in hospitals, the restrictions already adopted by the Government, according to which people without immunity or with negative results in the tests will not be able to buy in large supermarkets, catering, leisure, entertainment, beauty salons, etc.

On the other hand, he did not rule out the possibility that the recent acceleration in vaccination rates against the coronavirus helps to avoid such a situation.

“If it happens that the vaccination rate ‘breaks’ the case curve down and we can clearly see that the hospitals are no longer filling up, and maybe they are starting to empty, then no one will lead the restrictions because of the restrictions,” he said . Šimonytė said.

“After all, the government does not impose restrictions because there is a kind of manic government that has nothing to do and wants to impose restrictions on everyone, as critics or part of society sometimes think,” he said.
