Controversial messages from authorities about coronavirus: warns that February could be very difficult

“Now, as a person, I hear that one day there will be a quarantine off and one day I’ll get the vaccine. And one day we will return to normal life. <...>I would recommend the message that when the average of this or that infection is X, we will open hairdressers, when – Y, then let’s turn it off that ”, said K. Gečas on the program“ Delfi diena ”.

Tadas Ignatavičius, a reviewer for Lietuvos Rytas, noted that authorities are sending different messages about managing the pandemic.

“The Ministry of Health has presented a plan on how the planned vaccination should be carried out. It is said that universal vaccination will only begin in July, at that time the head of state had previously announced that vaccination should almost have ended during the Mindaugine”, said.

“We can see completely different information from different bells, as if it was not during the first wave of the pandemic, when all communication was concentrated in the hands of Aurelius Veryga, NVSC specialists came together and communication was very clear every day.” said T. Ignatavičius.

He also provided more examples of provisional and uncoordinated decisions.

As we have seen, the Ministry of Economy and Innovation has rushed (apparently under pressure from businessmen, interest groups) to provide information that will loosen the management of ski centers, hairdressers and some shops a bit. Apparently, they wanted to convince certain interest groups here, but then Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte had to explain and say that it would not be like that, ”the critic recalled.

Lack of clarity

Public relations specialist K. Gečas believes that the communication from the previous government was not as bad as is sometimes claimed, and that this government, according to him, is basically no better.

“One of the biggest problems that is made in such difficult times is the inconsistency when some speak the same way, others differently. So people don’t understand and have a lot of distrust of the government, which doesn’t know what it is doing, “said K. Gečas.

According to him, these things inevitably lead to a decrease in public confidence in the government and the resulting problems.

“The less trust in the government, the more questions arise about the decisions to be taken,” he emphasizes.

The most important thing, according to the public relations specialist, is to have a central authority that will always communicate everything related to the pandemic, and others could not do it without his permission.

Furthermore, the rulers, he said, should not be as careful as they are now and try to mobilize society for smaller goals.

“It just came to our knowledge then cut closer targets, otherwise people will tire. <...> If not, February will be very difficult for us, because people are tired and more and more violate the instructions of the state, they will not want to follow them.

Lithuanians of Soviet times know how to twist everything and society will resist, those who abide [nurodymų], he will be angry. Then we will have an even greater erosion of confidence ”, said K. Gečas on the program“ Delfi diena ”.
