The Ministry of Transport and Communications announced that the checkpoints filled by the National Center for Public Health will be reviewed at the checkpoints, and the results of the COVID-19 tests available to passengers and their time will be evaluated.
Specialists from the State Border Guard Service, the National Center for Public Health and the airport and port passenger terminals will work together at the checkpoints.
In preparation for further enhanced controls, the flow of arrivals to Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga airports will be reorganized. The documents of all arriving passengers and the results of the COVID-19 tests will be verified in the arrival areas of the airports at the time of baggage retrieval.
Improved checkpoints will be installed at Klaipeda Seaport at the Klaipeda Central Terminal and at the Klaipeda Container Terminal.
In neighboring Latvia, it decided last week to suspend all flights from the UK, Ireland and Portugal to prevent a more dangerous strain of coronavirus from entering the country.
The Minister of Transport and Communications, Marius Skuodis, says that the Lithuanian government has decided not to follow Latvia’s decision, considering the number of travelers and the fact that it is possible to circumvent the ban on connecting flights.
