“The fireplace is limited to a company known to us, its employees, but I could not say that all cases are imported,” says R. Lingienė.

“The outbreak has spread, these people have infected others, but they have all remained within the company for now,” he said.

R. Lingienė clarifies that among the 6 cases approved on Thursday, two cases were also confirmed for employees who did not travel with Uzbek citizens.

According to R. Lingienė, the virus was detected in one employee, who was in a high risk group, and trained these employees. Another driver, a Uzbek citizen who came from another EU country and who has been with the company for some time, also became ill.

Another case was identified only after further examination: “A high-risk driver was evaluated for 13 days and the test was negative. In the afternoon of the same day, she had a fever, other symptoms, and a positive test when she went to the hospital the next day. The test is positive only when we perform it during the virus manifestation period, i. and. when it’s very different. “

According to R. Lingienė, whether the virus can be controlled so that it does not spread outside the company will depend on the information provided by the company and its employees.

A telecommunications company was spoken to on Thursday, according to representatives of whom similar-looking people visited, and the company has taken some action.

It is still unknown where the people infected with Urme specifically visited, as they did not provide such information.

People who visited the shopping campus are encouraged to check the NVSC website to see if they have been there for more than 15 minutes at the time and have seen similar people, and to call NVSC for an investigation.

In some cases, due to the formation of similar smokestacks, says R. Lingienė, companies may face penalties.

“A company could be held responsible if it did not cooperate or if those people provided false information,” she says.

According to R. Lingienė, the company is currently cooperating, so there is no reason to speak about sanctions: “At the moment, I see no reason to speak about sanctions against the company, because it has done nothing illegal. Citizens working in certain professions, including carriers, may come to the country, they currently do not need proof: there is an option available, but it is not an obligation. And currently there are no isolation obligations. “

According to R. Lingienė, if the decision is made to apply stricter measures to control the coronavirus, the company that employs people from third countries will have to contribute more to its implementation.

“The people who arrive do not know the legal regulation of our country, they do not know their duties. If the decision is made to apply stricter measures, they will inevitably have to contribute to its proper implementation,” says the director of the Vilnius Department of NVSC.

“This fireplace in Kaunas has shown that action must be taken. 21 percent consist of imported cases, of which about 30%.” When people come from outside the European Economic Area, “Delfi said on the day.
