However, Dr. Giedrius Vanagas, associate professor at the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU), warned: three weeks of quarantine will certainly not be enough to control the threatening situation in the country and offer not to lie to yourself and others, and to prepare for at least 6-8 weeks of quarantine.
Dr. G. Vanagas shared about the type of quarantine Lithuania needs and why we have an uncontrolled exponential growth of new COVID-19 cases in Lithuania.
The doctor wrote: “Quarantine for 3 weeks, only for optimists or ignorant people.
The government decided today to introduce a 3-week quarantine, with some exceptions for athletes, funerals and merchants. Think the way you want, but that will only be the beginning if the goal is to control the now uncontrollable spread of the virus. 3 weeks will be just the beginning because we will not have control of anything during that time. Over the next several weeks, not only will we not see a decrease in cases, but we will continue to see an increase in morbidity.
We will see growth for simple and understandable reasons, because until now, for some time now, we have had uncontrollable and exponential growth. Therefore, in the coming weeks, we will continue to diagnose those cases that spread even before the introduction of quarantine. The fact that we will miraculously see the effect of the quarantine measures in a few weeks is hard to expect, only optimists or ignorant people can believe it. This assumption is also confirmed by the statistics on the introduction of quarantine measures, which we observed during the first wave and this was observed not only in Lithuania, but also in other countries that introduced quarantine in March (see epidemic curves in March-April ). Therefore, for the next several weeks, we will continue to see new records rather than a decline.
It is important that we all understand and prepare for quarantine for at least 6-8 weeks. To this day, I believe this is the minimum time required if the purpose of this quarantine is to control the spread of the virus to such an extent that the NVSCs can once again manage the epidemiological situation without balancing themselves, without running out of beds and without interrupting the care of other patients.
So let’s be nice, let’s not lie to each other, because it is important both for companies and for each of us to have the right information and expectations, because people’s patience could no longer feed them. “
