Health Minister Aurelius Veryga says he does not rule out the possibility of the nationwide quarantine being announced.

In Lithuania, the morbidity rate is 100,000. population in the last 14 days on Friday is 226.5.

Additional facilities may be offered to crowds
Veryga says he has not ruled out the possibility of additional measures being proposed to crowds to control the spread of the coronavirus.
“We will meet and evaluate the data when we meet in the (Management of the situation caused by COVID-19 – ELTA) committee on Tuesday. I could not say about the specific measures today, because some of the adapted measures have recently come into effect, but I would not rule out the possibility of additional measures being offered, ”A. Veryga told a remote press conference.
“If they are, they will probably be more related to places where people gather and which may not be necessary for life,” the minister said.
