Many people gathered in Palanga this warm spring weekend. However, Donatas Mockaitis, the commissioner of this city, was happy for the news radio show Ryto Ekspresso that the visitors were understanding and responsible.
“The flow of people was distributed more or less uniformly both in the coastal area itself and in different parts of the city. There was a great force of officials and we really did that work preemptively this weekend, ”said D. Mockaitis.
No fines were imposed for violations of quarantine rules in Palanga over the weekend.
“Most of the (arrivals) were families who came to change the environment. (…) It influenced people to behave culturally enough, and the image was gratifying, ”said D. Mockaitis.
The situation in Lithuania is not gratifying
On the situation across the country, Daiva Razmuvienė, an epidemiologist at the National Center for Public Health, admitted that it is not so rewarding.
“We have such a real situation that just today is a month, it is April 12, when there is an exponential growth of cases in half of Lithuania. It means that the number of cases is doubling every day, and if we talk about Vilnius County, it is even a triple increase. There was no time during this month for the number of cases to drop in seven days, it continued to rise. The rate of increase has simply changed: there are 15 to 20 percent more cases every day, ”said D. Razmuvienė.
Outbreaks in families and workplaces are the most worrying, according to the epidemiologist. In addition, about 45 new cases are registered in preschools per week.
“Outbreaks are very relevant in families, because people come from all kinds of social places (educational, work), they go to those social places, and therefore (outbreaks) are registered in the workplace and, what it is very worrying, in pre schools, “said D. Razmuvienė.
The epidemiologist hopes that the vaccine will correct the situation. He pointed out that only isolated cases are registered in medical and care institutions, where most of the employees have been vaccinated.
“I would like the rate (of vaccination) to be much faster. (…) We may want a lot, but if there is not as much vaccine as we would like, then the rate is adjusted to the amount of vaccines available,” said D. Razmuvienė.
