The essence of the new restriction being considered is that the Passport of Opportunity will no longer be issued for the test. This means that a person who does not have the vaccine or does not have coronavirus could not enter the bar or the supermarket.
“However, that test does not guarantee the spread of the infection. Those people who were tested in this minute are negative, but maybe where they walked in those few days, it may already be positive. And this does not prevent the spread of infection, ”Živilė Gudlevičienė, an adviser to Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė, told reporters on Monday.
According to the Prime Minister’s adviser, this issue is currently being discussed by the ministries. But again different messages from the government. Because Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys does not comment on such a statement by the Prime Minister’s Advisor.
“There are many different considerations, many suggestions. I would like to comment on those that are being debated. I’m not ready to answer right now, “said A. Dulkys.
Remigijus Žemaitaitis, a member of the Seimas Health Affairs Committee, believes that this is just a threat to make as many people as possible decide to get vaccinated.
“If you want to achieve something, a gun alone is not enough, you also need candy. In this case, I. Šimonytė has no candy. And talking about tax increases for those who didn’t get the vaccine will rule them out. Another attempt to intimidate the public ”, commented the parliamentarian on the proposal.
In general, the abandonment of the Passport of Opportunities is not yet planned.
“If the numbers improve, it might be possible to consider changing the strategy in some other way. I don’t see the numbers improving yet. But the key is to keep the economy open.
If we turn off the Passport of Opportunities and then we have to introduce quarantine, close business. Perhaps we should better maintain the Passport of Opportunities, ”Aušrinė Armonaitė, Minister of Economy and Innovation, told LNK.
