As for what will be discussed on Monday, the key issue will probably be the opportunities passport possibilities, that is, those activities for which this passport could bring some additional opening elements. There may be more suggestions from other institutions.
But as the project is still being prepared, I would not like to comment on anything in advance because, as far as I know, the ministries are making their suggestions. The Ministry of Health will summarize and present them, ”said the Prime Minister, without specifying the specific activities that can be exempted with a passport and how long the negative result of the COVID-19 test will last.
The Ministry of Economy and Innovation unveiled its idea for such a passport last week. It could be given to people who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus, who have acquired immunity (who have COVID-19), or who have had a negative test result.
According to the ministry, such a passport would allow the provision of indoor catering services, larger indoor and outdoor events, as well as sports clubs open to a greater number of people and would allow private parties if more than two households are involved.
How will the number of emerging diseases respond?
According to I. Šimonytė, although the government will consider quarantine changes next week, the most important issue will be the implementation of the passport of opportunities, and other changes will likely be only symbolic.
“Now the government is definitely not considering any horizontal mitigation, and also austerity. There will be some changes that will be related to the passport of opportunities, we will consider them on Monday, other changes, I think, will be symbolic,” he warned.
The Prime Minister also stressed that although 1,585 new cases of COVID-19 were detected in the country last day, the Government will not pressure to consider measures to strengthen the quarantine, but will wait and monitor trends in the coming days.
“There is no specific number of cases that encourage the Government to make immediate decisions here and now. You well know that a week ago, on Tuesday, the number of cases was also higher than in the previous days. We also have a significant number of cases today, but we must be attentive to the trends of tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and all week.
Then we will consider it. Due to the number of a day, there will be no promises to share anything, ”said the Head of Government.
He addressed the public about Mother’s Day weekend.
Although I. Šimonytė assured that the Government does not plan to introduce additional restrictions for the next Mother’s Day weekend, the Prime Minister urged all those who love their mothers to protect them as much as possible and not “reward” them with a coronavirus. .
“I strongly urge people who love their mothers to appreciate the fact that they are with them, but to protect those mothers as much as possible. Because of the people we lose every day, I am so sorry, but most of them are older people who may have already received their vaccination.
But maybe we refused vaccination ourselves, maybe family members didn’t get vaccinated on advice, and we lose those people. Although it is sometimes said that older people are not going anywhere, the risk to them is low, but they somehow end up in infected hospitals. kovidu, and it is probably we, the family members, who many times reward them with this “gift”.
It would be very good for us to behave as best as possible when thinking about our mothers, because these are the people that I envy all those who still have them, ”I. Šimonytė addressed the society.
