Municipalities promise to limit gatherings of people to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Neighboring Latvia introduces a curfew for New Year’s Eve, but the Lithuanian government has not considered that possibility.

All the luminous decorations in the Theater and Atgimimo squares will go out in Klaipėda on Thursday night. Alytus announced that the New Year’s lights in the center of town will be turned off at noon on Thursday.

The Kaunas municipality will not extinguish the fir tree, but access will be limited, while according to Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius it was decided a few days ago to extinguish the city’s fir on New Year’s Eve. The two largest cities in the country, like others, are ditching fireworks in one place.

In Šiauliai, the main fir will be illuminated, but it promises to strengthen patrols: the municipality does not rule out that when people gather, the lighting can be turned off.

In Panev thežys Freedom Square, the spruce will also be physically fenced and will not be accessible to people.
