After the government eased the quarantine conditions for single people and students in distress, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė thanks the public and says the vast majority of the public adhere to the quarantine rules.
“When we adopted the quarantine restrictions because they weren’t really very strict, like curfew and things like that, there was a lot of discussion about it, we heard a lot of thoughts that something won’t work and we won’t get results, but we can see from the data we have something to thank the public because the vast majority of society follows the rules.
Clearly, there are people who have not followed, do not follow and will not follow those rules, some of which will be sanctioned by officials and others will not enforce them. But at least for those people who tend to follow the rules and are the most difficult in those circumstances, because it is really difficult for lonely people to follow the rules, it is probably possible to create an environment, an algorithm that they can do at least something and not feel guilty for breaking the rules. I. Šimonytė said at the government meeting.
However, according to her, the situation in Lithuania is still bad in terms of the number of diseases.
The “social bubble” is minimal while we are still here, although with positive dynamics, but probably in the worst stage in terms of the number of diseases per 100,000. population, it is like a moral debt with people who feel lonely and feel a lot of psychological stress, ”said the Prime Minister.
On Wednesday, the government decided to ease the quarantine, ELTA recalls.
Children will be able to go to school when parents have to go to work and cannot care for children in primary education at home. Furthermore, when children educated in primary, basic and secondary education programs do not have the conditions to study at home or for other objective reasons, further assistance for distance education is needed by decision of the school child welfare commission.
The government has also decided to allow close contact between two families or two households if one of them has no more than one adult or their minor children or a person who needs constant care and attention.
