In the Seimas, I. Šimonytė told reporters that a large number of municipalities have expressed their desire to implement a pilot testing method for COVID-19 in their primary education institutions.
“It just came to our attention then. There will be changes for cultural institutions,” he said.
According to I. Šimonytė, there were plans that perhaps the Government today could impose lighter restrictions on municipalities where the epidemiological situation due to coronavirus is better than in others.
However, the Prime Minister mentioned that sequential research data is still awaited on where and to what extent COVID-19 strains are widespread.
They must be presented by experts this week. Therefore, only next week in the Cabinet of Ministers will some additional changes to the quarantine regime be considered possible.
“On Monday, we will consider what kind of restriction regime would be needed when the global restriction ends: this is the beginning and if it is necessary to further restrict movement to or from individual municipalities. And also what activities could there be in those, I would say , more successful municipalities. Because it does not always depend on the work of the municipalities, although the scope of the tests really depends on it “, commented I. Šimonytė.
He stressed that municipalities should evaluate more residents. Municipalities testing more than 2 percent. According to I. Šimonytė, there is an absolute minority of the population, which is said to be a safe level.
“We would like most municipalities to achieve this. It is then, of course, and that colorful background will look a little different. Also, in municipalities where both the test results are favorable and the statistics of the cases, I think that next week we will probably be able to talk about waivers and broader activities, ”said the Prime Minister.
