“After receiving an announcement this afternoon that 3 more cases of coronavirus were reported in Kernavė, in total – 7, the second meeting of the Operations Center was convened this week.
The newly identified cases are for individuals involved in early family ties. However, the strongly expanded contact list is worrying: people have participated in cultural events, sports center activities, etc. Contacts with patients were not only in Kernavė, but also in Širvintos. This information is collected both by the Public Health Center and by the heads of the institutions where the contacts took place, but it is clear that the number is close to 100, it is written on the Facebook account of the municipality of the Širvintos district.
According to the mayor of Živilė Pinskuvienė district, Širvintos district is very small, people are closely connected to each other, therefore, with such a number of contact persons, there is a threat to increase the number of patients. One can only imagine how the activities of institutions operating in both the public and private sectors in the district would be affected as more people became infected. Furthermore, since some activities have already been suspended (for example, the Kernavė Museum).
After discussing the current situation regarding the COVID-19 threat and in anticipation of events, the mayor of the municipality once again contacted Kotryna Žigaitė, a representative of the National Center for Public Health, regarding the organization of a mobile brigade conducting the COVID-19 investigation. In Širvintos.
“I understand that the Public Health Center follows established algorithms, but it is a large number of people working in various institutions. The municipal administration team is ready to dedicate all its forces to help in establishing contact lists and has requested a decision from the Center to organize a mobile team. This would be the fastest and safest means of investigating the widest circle of people possible. I understand that all decisions are made by the National Center for Public Health, so I requested not to analyze formally this serious situation, but take into account that it already affects children, “said Mayor Ž. Pinskuvienė.
During the Operations Center meeting it was decided:
cancel cultural and sporting events throughout the Širvintos district for 14 days from today.
14 days to cancel camps, training and competitions.
Close a kindergarten group in Musninkai for 14 days.
“Due to the Personal Data Protection Law, we cannot reveal the identity of the people who have had contact with the sick, they will be contacted and all the information will be provided by the representatives of the Public Health Center.
We remind you that everyone who has been in contact with sick people should isolate themselves for 14 days.
