The COVID-19 virus, which has been fighting the entire world for more than half a year, touched the world of Lithuanian culture a month ago, when Jonas Sakalauskas, a well-known opera soloist and director of the National Opera and Ballet Theater of Lithuania, got infected with it.

If it weren’t for medical care, I don’t know how it would have ended for me, “said J. Sakalauskas on the show.

“Now we have a lot of experience, there is a well-established work rhythm, algorithms, rules. But that’s not the end of the challenge. When the disease is milder, it can be treated at home, but when it comes to COVID-19, there is no registered drug in the world for this disease, everything that is done can be called a global experiment, ”said VUL Clinics Santara.

Now we can clearly see and predict which patients are at risk of severe disease: patients with comorbid diseases such as chronic lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, immunosuppressive diseases, post-transplant patients are also affected by overweight and severe obesity. This disease cannot be ignored, perhaps a person is in a milder form because he is young, he does not have concomitant diseases, but it can serve as a source for an older person, for whom he can determine life expectancy, ”said prof. L. Jančorienė.

J.Nakalauskas, the head of the LNOBT, urges not to be indifferent and says that he is convinced that this disease is more real than it seems.

“I would like to tell all skeptics of the disease that I am a living witness that it is a serious disease that cannot be ignored. This is not a simple flu. Please let us protect each other and do not panic. Until Today, it is much clearer how to protect our environment, so let us be healthy from our point of view, with our bodies, be attentive to ourselves and others, ”said J. Sakalauskas.
