“It is important to know that information should be sought during the quarantine rules in Latvia and Estonia. They are nothing more special than in Lithuania. Protective equipment should also be one of the attributes of the trip, since often on public transport , indoors, you need to have a facial protection device: a mask. That must be taken into account, “he said.
