He was tested two days later and on August 13 he received a brief message with a positive diagnosis for COVID-19.
I went out to celebrate
The same day, he received a call from the National Public Health Center (NVSC).
“My wife and I were told to isolate ourselves, then I called the family doctor and told him the same thing,” Giedrius J told police.
On August 19, two NVSC employees came to see the sick man. They checked the man’s adherence to self-isolation and offered to help buy food.

A neighbor of Giedrius J., who saw specialists from NVSC, was also concerned about this visit.

A few hours later, the woman again saw Giedrius J. traveling to the mall, so she immediately informed officials.
I walked without a mask
Police officers who arrived soon saw Giedrius J. walking down the street without a mask.
“I asked him why he walks the streets without a mask and does not observe self-isolation,” the official said. – He told me that he went to buy food, also to repair the house on another street. The citizen was warned to be at home, but was in a troubled mood, responding that he would go where he had to be. “
The trapped man himself did not deny his guilt, but during questioning he stated that he had not gone to the store and that he had not walked anywhere until then.
“I had gone to the next street, I have a house where I keep my car. I went to pick up the documents. I didn’t wear a mask because the street was empty, ”the man exclaimed.
