Seething with passion for AstraZeneca, which some teachers and retirees do not want to vaccinate, President Gitanas Nausėda has decided to defend the reputation of the vaccine, planning to vaccinate it himself.
Gypsy Nausėda measures the Radon Cross volunteers’ sweater at the Kaunas Ice Arena, now a vaccination center.
The president also briefly visits the immunization office. Today, G. Nausėda has not been vaccinated, but he promises to do so when it is his turn.
The president is angry that people have unwarranted doubts about the safety of a manufacturer’s AstraZeneca vaccine. Because this vaccine is the most unpopular in Europe, it is stored in some countries. And this is what residents say:
“I did not hesitate, I vaccinated everything.”
“Until everyone is vaccinated, we will suffer.”
“I think Pfizer is better because all the clinics were vaccinated with just Pfizer and we vaccinated Moderna. I wouldn’t want AstraZeneca. I don’t know, I don’t know exactly, but people don’t want everyone.”
“If anyone has any doubts about the reliability of the AstraZeneca vaccine, I am ready to be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine when it is my turn,” says President Nausėda.
According to Nausėda, all municipalities must be prepared for mass vaccination of the population. Currently, 164 thousand people in Lithuania received at least the first dose of the vaccine. Vaccination is gaining momentum: Last week, doctors managed to inject 10,000 doses of the vaccine a day for several working days.
“It is just a training before the really massive vaccination, which will begin in the second quarter of the year, then the amounts of vaccines that will reach us will allow us to vaccinate 30-35 thousand people a day. Only then will we be able to say that we are opening a business in a sustainable, gradual way, opening sports centers, opening lives ”, says G. Nausėda.
And as long as vaccination is like training, authorities no longer want to fire quarantine commanders.
“Exemption proposals are not currently being considered. We see what the numbers are, we see new mutations looming, we see that the scope of our tests is not enough,” says Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė.
At present, stagnating morbidity rates do not allow relief from quarantine.
The main indicator on which the severity of the quarantine depends, the number of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2 weeks increased by 4 percent to 251 per 7 days.
And some of the positive testing was stopped instead. Jump between 7 and 8 percent. Currently, one in 14 people tested for coronavirus finds out they have COVID-19.
“The best option is that there was a temporary increase for a week, two, that falls again, so it would be very good, but so far we have fallen, according to the dynamics we have seen, now we are beginning to wonder.” where to return, “he said. Member of the Council of Health Experts Vaidotas Zemlys-Balevičius.
The possibilities of coronavirus testing are expanding in Lithuania. A special point was opened on Monday next to the capital’s airport, where all departing or returning travelers can check for COVID-19 out of their pocket.
“This morning we had over 50 people who wanted to do a rapid antigen test. These are people who need to do this study 4 hours in advance. Until now, it has been difficult to find a place where they can do it very early in the morning. Our laboratory will provide services 24 hours a day, ”says Daiva Kazlauskienė, director of the Rezus.lt laboratory.
“In April, the same evidence will appear in both Kaunas and Palanga,” says Dainius Čiuplys, representative of Lithuanian airports.
However, according to the authorities, this is not enough. Test rates in Lithuania are still too slow. The Government’s Commission on Emergency Situations, which met on Monday, emphasizes that the quarantine in Lithuania will not be relaxed until the scope of testing for COVID-19 is increased.
“It is very worth considering the possibility of conducting the necessary tests. We see that in this period, in an epidemic situation, we will have to live a little longer ”, says A. Bilotaitė.
Until now, entrepreneurs who have started working as a result of the quarantine reduction have been able to choose whether or not they want to take the prophylactic test. The authorities are debating whether this recommendation should not become a necessary tool for those entrepreneurs who have more contact with their clients:
“We want to work, we will prove it.”
“Let those who wear the ‘coronium’ taste”. old man, I can not stand it. No, no way, no. “
“If it was mandatory, then it wouldn’t work.”
“I could try every week to make it work.”
The government plans to establish a group of experts to assess how much and how to expand the scope of the tests. On Wednesday, the government could consider when it would be possible to resume driving lessons and tests in Lithuania.
