It was necessary to react faster
It must be said that the situation is tense throughout the EU, apparently the Member States are introducing various measures. There is already some coordination between countries and, of course, those measures are already being implemented using the WHO recommendations and also the proposed solutions, there is no doubt that there is a lot of experience that allows specific measures to control the virus in a given area , based on epidemiological data. severe restrictions and possible severe consequences.
Lithuania is not special, perhaps only in terms of Lithuania’s preparation for such a possible scenario, especially knowing that the summer period was easier, the start itself was not that difficult either. I think that the resources, the much more precise coordination, the much faster and more efficient application of the measures could have started earlier ”, says the former Minister of Health.
Lack of communication strategy
At present, Lithuania speaks of even stricter quarantine restrictions. When asked if he saw any difference between the outgoing government and the new government’s vision to curb the coronavirus, the interviewee emphasized that people’s awareness was paramount at this time.
“You may find that I am trying to be impartial because that is my position. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, in terms of communication, we will probably have to admit that it is not a matter of a day that communication has had to take place all the time since spring, especially at a time when we are supposed to have a virus.
In other words, political crisis scoring is not the best way to reassure or motivate people.
And the communication strategy for this fall must be united, the whole of society, the media, the private sector must be involved, there must be a discussion with all the media so that communication covers the entire territory ”, assures the interlocutor.
According to the politician, the measures can be effective only when the government finds a consensus. And right now, according to him, the views of key institutions on the crisis are different.
“There is no magic formula that can defeat this terrible ghost. There is not a single shooter who has a silver bullet and solves everything at once, he is not. Likewise, there is not a single measure that is one hundred percent effective, but the effective measures are when they are applied all together based on the new indicators.
Today it is not news that we can have quarantines, a special situation in individual areas together with a communication strategy, together with partners, it is a civil crisis. This is not just a matter for the Prime Minister. Now, wrong, when the outgoing prime minister says one thing, the future prime minister asks for something else, the president’s headquarters for something else. Can not be. There must be a coordinated team, nobody can win political points in the face of this drama, ”says Vice President Andriukaitis.
When asked what he could advise the future Minister of Health in the current situation, VPAndriukaitis assured that, first of all, the minister must know the available resources and the real situation.
“I can advise one: gather all the services urgently, find out the possible resources, what and how we can do it. Nothing can be done here without consulting, without knowing the actual contract,” says Vice President Andriukaitis.
