Cold, wet

Later, a week later, he was reportedly released from the hospital and taken to his own home, where Kęstutis must isolate himself.

“I’m not used to such conditions,” Kęstutis complained. – Seven degrees of heat. You can imagine? I am after such an illness … I will immediately fall ill again after an illness. “

The man was outraged that the house was still wet and he had to cook for him.

The house where Kęstutis has to insulate has several floors. He said there are also residents on the ground floor:

“They told me not to go downstairs, to always be on the second floor.”

I need to cook for myself. You imagine? I say take me to the hotel. It’s hot there, give food there.

The employer was unaware of the complaints.

Manvesta, according to the CEO, is in constant contact with this driver.

“The question is why are you looking for help elsewhere?” He wondered.

Claims that cannot be transferred to the hotel

According to A.Čyžienė, it was desired that the conductor be isolated in Lithuania, but Germany does not allow this.

Also, in this country, according to the manager, isolation is allowed only in certain places, not in hotels.

“It just came to our knowledge then. We wanted to bring that person because we have very good isolation conditions here in Lithuania, but there is no such possibility, Germany does not allow us to bring him back until the person has done the isolation.

And isolation is done only in certain specific places. So that we can provide you with, let’s say, a good hotel, we don’t have that power either, ”said A. Čyžienė.

In order to provide you with, say, a good hotel, we don’t have that power either.

She promised to contact representatives of the Ergo insurance company and clarify the situation.

Ergo: We cannot comment on the situation.

Jolanta Karpuškienė, Ergo’s communication project manager, did not comment on the specific situation.

“Due to data protection requirements, we are unable to comment on the situation in more detail. We regret the isolation conditions of the person who contacted you,” he replied. 15 minutes she taught.

An Ergo representative noted that insurance contracts for employee insulation costs are generally concluded with employers. They also foresee specific conditions.

“We would like to point out that under the Travel Insurance Contract, the protection applies to repatriation and medical expenses. Therefore, all treatment costs in Germany, if you are our client, will definitely be covered by Ergo.

At that time, the insurance rules do not cover the costs of insulation, which are not included in medical expenses. These insurance contracts with companies are usually signed by employers, which provides additional protection to their employees.

However, at the same time, employers foresee what insurance conditions and insured events will be provided in the insurance contracts, ”commented J. Karpuškienė.
