“I would not dare to speculate now, I think there will be at least one such offer for three weeks, but maybe even an offer for a longer period,” A. Veryga told reporters at Seimas on Thursday about the extension. from quarantine.

According to him, it can be proposed that the longer quarantine continue in view of the change of government.

“Since there will be a moment of change of government, knowing that until things accelerate, decisions will have to be made very quickly, perhaps even a longer period will be proposed,” said the minister.

I can still say with certainty that it is stabilizing, the more we see that the situation is stabilizing with the hospitals.

According to him, currently the situation in medical institutions is still tense, but is gradually stabilizing, as there is no longer a drastic growth of new hospitalized patients.

“I can still say that it is stabilizing, the more we see that the situation is stabilizing with the hospitals, there is no such jump in patient beds and the situation is becoming more manageable. We value it as a kind of stabilization, ”said A. Veryga.

However, he emphasized that some planned hospital services are still suspended due to the treatment of COVID-19 patients, so the situation cannot really be described as good.

“It is still difficult and tense, but at least it is not getting worse,” said the minister.

The second quarantine was introduced in Lithuania on November 7 and is currently scheduled for November 29.

During quarantine, masks must be worn in public places, activities in cafes, bars and entertainment venues are prohibited, and almost all events, except high-level sports competitions without spectators, are subject to other restrictions.
