“There is a serological test in which we may not know we were sick, but after a serological antibody test we see that the titer is sufficient and we have a document of that type that is valid for 60 days,” commented the deputy minister of Health Aušra. Bilotienė-Motiejūnienė.
The mall ticket can be a negative PCR or rapid antigen test.
“Most of the time they bring Opportunity passports, some bring them to the European Union (EU), few people do not bring them at all,” said Dovilė Stravinskienė, store manager.
However, LNK journalists had to meet people who did not have the required document.
“I don’t have the document, but I did a PCR test an hour ago recently, but I don’t have a result,” said the young man.
PCR test results may have to wait a day, so the guy had to leave the store. The result of a rapid antigen test may appear on the electronic health page after twenty minutes. Although it is not possible to test the Opportunity Passport for free at a mobile point, some people did not hide that they were investigating it.
“It is silly to be with a child here, <...>It is a shame to really see that our Lithuania has fallen by then, ”commented the young mother waiting in line.
“It just came to our attention then. <...>. It’s good to get vaccinated, but maybe a little scary because of all kinds of side effects. I look forward to a visit to the doctor and only 16 days. until now, ”said another woman in line.
Arthur said he was taking the test for work, not for the Opportunity Passport.
“I don’t need to go to the hairdresser, I cut myself, I shave and my wife goes to the store,” the man assured me.
However, the Vilnius Public Health Center says that a person can also take a work test by going to the store.
“It is likely that the person who did it at the antigen mobile point can perfectly show the antigen test that is negative, and if it is a leisure facility or a restaurant or cafeteria,” commented the director of the center. Guoda Ropaitė-Beigė.
Marius made no secret of the fact that he will pass the store with a paid test required to work.
“I’ll have enough of this test in the cafe for 48 hours.” I’d rather go ten times than get vaccinated, “he assured her.

A spokeswoman for the Office of Public Health speculates that those who want a free exam to obtain a certificate of free entry to a store or other facility indicate they have signs of coronavirus. It is not known whether due to such cunning, or the growing number of patients, there are almost no places to register for the test at the mobile point, at least in the capital for the next day.
In health institutions: services for all
As a result of the Opportunity Passport, many anxious residents receive calls from doctors. It is feared that it will now be even more difficult to get to the doctor. Health centers say the order is not changing here, services are provided to everyone.
“Nobody asked for anything, but I just had to accept the answer”, “Probably easier, significantly fewer people than before”, were the people that the LNK journalists met about the passport of opportunity and access to medical institutions.
Patients do not hide their surprises: unlike stores or catering establishments, in polyclinics no one asks for a passport. Although there was anxiety.
The polyclinics, which closed during the first quarantine, returned to normal only a year later; It was feared that the doors of the doctors would be closed now, especially for those who do not have a passport.
“We receive many questions in our call center,” said Paulius Kibiša, the director of the polyclinic, ensuring that all health services, necessary assistance and specialized consultations are provided.
“We make sure the patient is registered, we follow that procedure all the time and we make sure there is no temperature. We have an automated access system that records the temperature and records if there is a mask, ”said P. Kibiša.
Those who do not register with doctors, but who have health problems, will be referred to unscheduled emergency rooms, such is the case in all major polyclinics.
You don’t need a passport to enter hospitals, but as the number of people with difficulties increases, you may have to wait longer for scheduled surgeries. Last week, Šiauliai Hospital announced that it would discontinue planned operations and focus its efforts on treating Kovida’s patients.
The large Kaunas and Santara clinics do not stop planned operations, but the situation may change in the near future, because resuscitation is needed after planned operations and the number of locations is rapidly decreasing.
“Currently, the Santara clinics are occupied by 90 percent of all resuscitation beds,” said Jolita Jakutienė, Director of Management of Santara Clinics, during a press conference.
The Vilnius Clinic, Alytus Hospitals and Druskininkai have rooms for the treatment of Kovido patients. Therefore, the space of non-covid patients in hospitals is decreasing.
“So, if we occupy enough resuscitation beds, we will have to think through the whole plan. In this case, there is no doubt that some people will have to wait longer,” explained the Deputy Minister of Health.
Those admitted to hospitals due to a planned procedure do not need a passport of opportunity.
“All people go to personal health care institutions without a passport. If they go to hospitals, they are tested on the spot or their immunization is verified, be it a sick person or a vaccinated person,” added A. Bilotienė -Motiejūnienė.
A passport of opportunity may be required when visiting patients; It is recommended in the Santara Clinic and is mandatory in the Kaunas clinics and other hospitals. The permission of the doctor is also required.
In dentists, without the possibility of a passport. Prior registration is important here and it is mandatory to wear a mask when visiting the dentist.
