On Thursday, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė and Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys together with experts at the Seimas discussed the management of COVID-19.
I.Šimonytė noted that the COVID-19 situation is worse than is known.
“It just came to our knowledge then.” The tests don’t reveal the real situation, because the labs are crowded and the number of positive tests is too large for him to tell us anything, “he said.
Experts suggested that the Seimas consider introducing a state of emergency, saying that Lithuania was testing very little and that the extent of the spread of COVID-19 was much greater than expected. They also emphasized that the number of deaths from COVID-19 would only increase and that the health system was “at the limit of its capabilities.” Then it is time for the public to understand.
Representatives from Santara clinics addressed the public Thursday asking to volunteer: There is a shortage not only of medical personnel, but also of people who help transport patients to work in a laundromat where no one was left to work on Thursday. Aušra Bilotienė Motiejūnienė, Director of Management of the Santara Clinics, emphasized that the weekend was awaited for fear that there would be no way to receive new patients not because of the beds, but because of the lack of staff.

“I called on major retail chains to voluntarily limit the range. In order to reduce the flow of buyers, “the minister told reporters at Seimas.
