“As of January 1, restrictions on connections with London will expire,” Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė told the meeting.
This decision has not been extended by the government, so flights may resume. The Minister of Health, Arūnas Dulkys, must decide the security measures for visitors
Discussions have taken place in the government about the security measures to be provided to returnees.
Chancellor Gabrielius Landsbergis reported that Estonia and Latvia have decided to resume flights from January 1. It is true that the Latvian Civil Aviation Agency announced that flights to the UK would resume from January 2, as flights were suspended until January 1 at 11:59 pm
“Latvia has changed the conditions for the return of people. The requirement for a negative test from 48 hours ago has now changed. The test from 72 hours must be negative and additional conditions for self-isolation,” said Chancellor Gabrielius Landsbergis.
“However, at the EU level, this harmonization is difficult and, although it is not possible to fly directly to Lithuania, it is possible to fly to all Baltic countries indirectly,” said Minister of Transport and Communications Marius Skuodis. .
Passenger traffic at airports has been reduced by 90 percent, the minister said.
Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys proposes to keep the current requirements for visitors, even though the UK is becoming a third country.
“Evaluating how many compatriots there are, we will suggest leaving the order as it is now: a 48-hour trial or, if you don’t have it, do a test and have isolation until then, or a 10-day isolation in general,” suggested A. Dulkys. .
Mr Dulkys added that close contacts were maintained with the Estonian and Latvian ministers and that other countries had not yet decided on the conditions that will apply to the newcomers.
“The EC has adopted a new recommendation that it is no longer 48 hours, but 72 hours,” said A. Dulkys. According to him, Latvia tends to allow arrivals a 10-day trial and isolation, while Estonia is considering a 10-day trial or isolation.
I. Šimonytė suggested discussing the safest option with experts before January 1, while there is time.
