“The COVID-19 data for the past few days is really concerning. Today, Lithuania woke up with almost as many patients as we had before the end of the quarantine on June 15. Looking at this graph, we see that the number of active cases has steadily declining since the quarantine was lifted on July 4. We reached the bottom, and 195 cases.
However, since the Mindauginiai weekend, this indicator has been growing steadily (although not very fast). And from July 15. we can already see a much faster jump upwards, ”wrote Mindaugas Stankūnas, professor at the Faculty of Public Health of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU).

The researcher noted that since then, a total of 72 new cases have been identified in Lithuania (red bars on the graph), and only 75 new cases have been identified between the end of the quarantine and the Hegelmann Transport outbreak.
“T. and. We detected as many new cases in five days as in the entire month (06-15-07-14) after the end of the quarantine. In the first days after the outbreak in Kaunas, the new cases were clearly related to this approach, and the weekend data already show a wide geography of new cases. This may be a clear sign that the spread of the virus in society is resuming, “said M. Stankūnas.
The researcher noted that he did not want to cause panic and intimidation, but warned that the experience of other countries (such as Montenegro, Australia, etc.) shows that those second peaks start in a similar way.
“Whether the ‘second peak’ observed in Lithuania these days becomes the ‘second peak’ depends solely on us. I beg everyone for responsibility and conscience. Thank you,” wrote M. Stankūnas.
The situation can change
On Sunday night, Professor Vytautas Kasiulevičius of the Vilnius University School of Medicine also shared ideas about the situation of the new coronavirus pandemic in the world on his Facebook account and warned that the stable situation registered in Lithuania could change in two weeks.
“The true scale of the pandemic, higher than the March wave, is currently observed in the countries of Central Asia, the United States, Brazil and Israel. That is an average of 200 cases per million inhabitants per day. Spain had reached this figure in Europe in the spring, with Italy rarely exceeding 100 cases per day per 1 million inhabitants. And in many countries of the European Union, pandemic indicators are currently satisfactory, “the doctor wrote.
“Lithuania has also been characterized by the stability of the situation so far. The number of new critical points and cases today can change this trend, we will see in the next two weeks,” said the expert.
