All decisions must be decided by the Cabinet on Wednesday.

The minister confirmed that isolation will be shortened.

“It just came to our knowledge then. The decision will also be made on who should isolate,” the minister said.

According to her, the isolation will be shortened from 14 to 10 days.

“And we will also discuss and consult with the Cabinet of Ministers today, but the decision, I believe, has been signed by the Minister at this time. But it should already have been signed that only those who are sick will be isolated in schools. And others, that they had contact, they will be evaluated, “said the Minister of Education, Science and Sports, J. Šiugždinienė.

Last week, Minister J. Šiugždinienė hinted that a shorter isolation was being considered.

“Yes, we are considering reducing the duration of isolation, we are talking with the Ministry of Health about it and those decisions will definitely be made in these days to reduce isolation,” he said.

Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys said it was thought that isolation would only apply to certain students.

“Perhaps the primitives could only be tested and isolated in a positive way,” the minister said at the time.
