The Mazeikiai District Municipality announced on social media over the weekend that the situation in the district was becoming threatening. Hospital placements are reported to be declining rapidly, with other medical services likely to be further restricted in the near future.
How 15 minutes Saulius Šiurys, the director of the Mažeikiai district municipal administration, said, the indicators recorded over the weekend did not cause any alarm.
“There are 100 cases during the weekend from Friday to Saturday, and there were 8, 10 or 12, and suddenly 100. They were registered in different places, both in the market and in stores. The virus sows. It is not that, Let’s say, there was an outbreak in Radviliškis hospital. I don’t know what we are going to do here, it is complicated because the cases are scattered. Many asymptomatic. I myself have recently realized it and have recovered successfully, without consequences, “said the director The man says he felt almost no symptoms, just muscle aches, after going to work for a few more days.
Earlier it was announced that the virus had spread among the members of the “Draugystė” choir in Mažeikiai.
Hold a meeting
Due to the situation in the Mažeikiai District Municipality, it was decided to hold an emergency management meeting on Wednesday afternoon. So far, older students in grades 5-12 have studied in a variety of ways: some at a distance, some in the classroom. The Commission has decided to consider distance education for all final year students due to the worsening situation.
“It just came to our knowledge then. We had different, depending on the community’s choices. Some learned remotely immediately after the holidays, others got in touch with work. We want to change, reduce risk, it is mandatory to stop working in form of contact, except in primary education, kindergartens, “said the director of administration.
S.Šiurys was pleased that so far there have been no major outbreaks in educational institutions. The virus has spread to some companies. Several ORLEN Lietuva employees were ill, but the situation was managed by isolating the sick.
“The main source of infections are asymptomatic people, they spread and do not separate them, whether they are sick or not. If there is no temperature, you don’t know you are sick. This is the most dangerous situation. We emphasize to the people of the district that we have a large number of deaths in the last two weeks, up to nine people. People may realize that masks must be used correctly. On the streets, in shops, the vast majority use them improperly, they choke on their chins, their noses are open. I realize that older people lack air, scratch themselves involuntarily. This is a direct source of contagion of the virus, “said the director of administration.
You want to disinfect stairs
In spring and March, the municipality started disinfection of all the stairs in the municipality of the Mažeikiai district. Residents then had to pay for this service. Soon outraged, residents criticized the municipality that disinfection was not their intention and should be financed by the municipality.
“The government then decided to compensate. The decision was made to disinfect. This requires about 30 thousand euros. If we make such a decision, and it will probably be necessary to disinfect it, public procurement will take about two weeks. There is no longer a state of emergency. , so we cannot make this purchase without a queue. It is illogical, but we have to follow the rules, “said the head of the administration.
S.Šiurys stated that her phone was not silent, residents asked to disinfect the stairs.
“They don’t protect themselves, but the government must take care. This approach is not good, “said S. Šiurys angrily.
The hospital is already full
Patients from the Šiauliai region are also transported to the Mažeikiai district hospital, which is infected with coronavirus. The municipality intends to address this issue and withdraw the admission of patients from another municipality if there are no longer enough places for their own. The hospital completed the two Covid-19 patient rooms and treated 45 patients. The third department was established in place of the Department of Surgery.
“How many more deaths will it take for us to realize that the disease is real and is among us, with us, around us? Almost all forces in the hospital – pediatrics, nerve diseases, psychiatry, surgery – are focused on treating COVID-19 patients. Medical services are already restricted, ”the municipality announced over the weekend.
