Seimas Spokesperson: If the recommendations are not enough, it may be necessary to return the quarantine

“We are all seeing alarming figures, and if one or another provision alone does not make enough recommendations, such a return may need to be considered,” the Seimas president told Seimas reporters on Thursday.

He does not rule out the possibility that the Seimas could return to a mixed way of working, but, according to V. Čmilytė-Nielsen, all aspects are evaluated.

“Mixed work presupposes not only an amendment to the Charter, but also a large enough investment in IT systems. Yes, we are considering such options, but again we are considering whether it is a significant investment in IT systems, taking into account that members Seimas tend to work live. And if the situation had already deteriorated a lot, we have had the experience of working remotely quite successfully, “commented the Seimas Spokesperson.

Still, the government’s plans to consider introducing quarantine next week instead of wearing masks indoors and restricting some events are criticized by the opposition.

Squirrel: Being able to re-quarantine requires extraordinary skills

Saulius Skvernelis, the eldest of the Democratic group “Vardan Lietuvos”, says that the government has spent the summer.

“It just came to our knowledge then. There is an invested time that was given naturally by nature, since the warm time of the year is really conducive to exploiting that pause, since the virus is not spreading, but fundamentally it has not been done nothing to have a successful vaccination campaign. Especially in those age groups at risk, “noted S. Skvernelis.

According to him, the introduction of quarantine again is not good and in terms of the psychological state of the population.

“This shows that this government and the ruling majority have not coped with the pandemic,” the politician said.

“Extraordinary skills are needed to be able to re-quarantine sick people and vaccines purchased by our government,” Skvernelis added.
