Starting today, it was decided not to sell tickets on shuttle buses again, as was the case during the quarantine. Access to public transportation will no longer be possible through the front door. It is true that such a decision was made only due to the increase in the incidence of coronaviruses in Kaunas.
The Kaunas City Municipality also commented on the increased risk of developing COVID-19 in Kaunas.
Taking into account the recent situation regarding the COVID-19 threat, when Kaunas became a high-risk municipality, we are taking the appropriate preventive decisions. The objective is clear and understandable: to protect the city and its people. Local outbreaks of coronavirus in the city have so far been successfully controlled. We do everything possible to ensure that they do not continue to spread and that the sick receive all the help they need. In addition, the mobile checkpoint in Kaunas continues to carry out preventive investigations, which we encourage all residents who have not only had close contact with the sick, but also want to have preventive control. Registration is done by calling the Korona Hotline in 1808. Callers from Kaunas City should say the keyword “Kaunas Resident for Preventive Examination,” according to the Kaunas Municipality report.
Representatives of the Kaunas authorities have confirmed that the medical team is working today at the Kauno autobusai company, where the first case of COVID-19 has been registered these days and the second suspect can be clarified.
All employees of this company, as announced in the commentary from the Kaunas municipality, will also be investigated over the weekend.
“Employees affected by the disease were not working on public transport routes and had no contact with passengers. Additional security measures have been returned to Kaunas public transport since Friday. Passenger boarding is no longer via front doors of buses and trolleybuses Ticket sales buying from drivers are also suspended Those planning to travel by public transport are advised to obtain electronic tickets in advance or to use the smart “Grasshopper” app.
We also recommend that passengers wear face masks and try to keep safe distances from each other. The city, in turn, is stepping up disinfection work on buses and trolleybuses, as well as on the roofs of public transport stops. Park benches, playground inventory, garbage cans and other small architectural items will also receive disinfection, ”the comment reads.
