“The purpose of the Passport of Opportunities was to open as many activities as possible and keep them open to avoid future quarantines. This is basically a passport of opportunities, we see, it will be needed in autumn so that we do not close economic activities, so that people can continue to enjoy their favorite restaurants, cafes, stores.
The government will decide and it is likely that these activities will be open to people who have been vaccinated, because there is currently a pandemic of those who have not been vaccinated in Lithuania, ”said the minister.
Journalists asked if shops and cafes could be visited by those who tested negative for COVID-19, the minister replied that the government would decide.
“The government will decide, but we are talking about people who have been vaccinated getting vaccinated, having immunity, so that we do not punish them with restrictions and prohibitions. We also want people who have run out of time to get vaccinated to do so now, ”added A. Armonaitė.
According to the minister, the Opportunity Passport can be applied to more activities than in the spring.
“The passport of opportunity is not an end in itself, it is a tool to keep the economy running, to avoid the quarantine we had this winter and that spring,” he said.
According to A. Armonaitė, the essential indicator according to which the use of the Opportunity Passport will be decided is the number of beds occupied in hospitals.
“There is a situation where we have a delta variety that is 80 percent. Lithuania already dominates, 95 percent. in hospitals, people are not vaccinated and infected. This is a pandemic of unvaccinated people. We definitely need to get vaccinated, “he emphasized.
