Palanga, which is on the list of red municipalities, does not intend to take stricter measures.
Every night, vacationers gathering on the resort’s popular J.Basanavičiaus Street for fun don’t rush to recall the pandemic – 15 minutes The passers-by interviewed assure that they fear the high-priced tourist cafes more than the virus.
“It just came to our knowledge then. There will be no such variety, there will be another! Isn’t it now a lifetime to sit at home between four closed walls? Do you know what to fear? Ogi prices in sackcloth. You come to eat, you open the letter and you don’t know what to order, everything is so expensive ”, joke and amuse the young people who met in Palanga late at night.
The main entertainment artery of the city is full of entertainment. One by one, visitors go to slot machines, try to win stuffed animals, and children jump on inflatable trampolines.
Entertainment staff do not need to disinfect them after each customer.
“How long does pollution stay outside, especially when the sun bakes like this? I don’t disinfect because I don’t really see the need. People go all in line and touch everything, what is the use of cleaning the surfaces of the vending machines if they go further and touch something again after a few seconds? – An employee of the Palanga amusement park opens who does not want to appear.
