In Klaipeda, a coronavirus was detected in a long-distance driver from Ukraine.

Specialists consider that another case is imported, but they affirm that this information may change: a person who returned from Poland on July 6 fell ill in Vilnius.
“There is a minor in this family who attends the Carousel kindergarten. Because a sick child was identified in this kindergarten on June 25, we conducted an examination of the kindergarten staff exposed at that time, but the tests They were negative. Now we are also organizing an investigation of all the employees of this kindergarten who had contact with the second child, “said R. Lingienė.
“It will be clear if we brought this case from Poland, or if this case is local,” he added.

They will enter the statistics later.
“Due to some issues, these cases will be officially included in the statistics later, but of course we don’t expect the data to ‘fall’ into the system, we are working here and now,” said a representative from NVSC.
