According to Vaidotas Grigas, a member of the Council of Government Experts, director of the Molėtai Hospital, which presented the experts’ proposals for the opening of points of sale, it is too early to think about it.

“It just came to our knowledge then. We do not know what surprises the new British variety will bring. We see what is happening in the neighbors. No decisions have been made in the evaluation of the epidemiological situation and this issue has been considered but not made. I think it is too early to do that, just before Easter we will see the epidemiological situation, other things and then we will decide, “he said.

Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys is also reluctant to talk about the restrictions that will apply on Easter weekend. However, it hints that the measures may be different than those applied during Christmas.

When asked if we could get stricter driving restrictions during the Easter weekend, the minister suggested not to think about “occasional appearances” on the TV3.lt program “Dienas pjūvis”. Before Christmas, strict restrictions on movement were introduced, but according to A. Dulkis, the situation at that time was completely different: Lithuania was the leader in Europe by many parameters.

The portal tv3.lt recalls that the experts proposed on Tuesday to open all the stores with entrance from the outside. Necessary preventive measures should also be taken and accessed only through the use of a medical mask or respirator.

He promises to release restrictions on movement.

On Monday, Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė already announced that the movement of residents between municipalities should be liberalized as of March 16. It is proposed that, in the first instance, the movement restriction be lifted for all municipalities, except where the incidence of COVID-19 is high.

The tv3.lt portal recalls that the Government previously approved a quarantine release plan according to the respective indicators of the percentage of new virus cases and positive tests. However, some layoffs are already taking place ahead of schedule.
