The government has clarified decisions on quarantine restrictions
The government meeting at a meeting on Monday clarified some decisions on stricter quarantine conditions.
The exceptions to the restrictions on movement between municipalities include all health care services: not only will essential medical assistance be available, but also planned.
A provision has also been introduced that will allow officials to assess whether the reason given by residents for the trip is serious enough, even if it does not meet the conditions set out in the Government Resolution.
“There is an evaluative provision in which it would allow the official to evaluate, if there is a situation in which a person is suspended, if it really is some special circumstance that he must go to another municipality,” Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said at the meeting . .
In addition, as there are no restrictions on traveling abroad, movement between municipalities is allowed in the case of traveling to the airport.
It has been clarified that no more than two people or people from the same family may meet outdoors in the open air.
The decision on emergency work includes a provision that it is mandatory to ensure emergency functions, which will allow notaries, bailiffs and other necessary legal services to function.
The government has also decided to expand the required area per customer from 10 square meters to 15 square meters.
“Yesterday the resolution was reduced to ten, but still the people of the Ministry of Health say that it is necessary to maintain the epidemiological situation from what it is now, that is, fifteen,” said I. Šimonytė.
The government also clarified that beauty services and other services that require more than 15 minutes of contact between the customer and the service provider cannot be provided. Exceptions apply to medical, psychological, rehabilitation, attorney services, as well as when a mobile signature is required.
The government has also relaxed the provision of accommodation services, allowing them to be provided to people from a single household. The decision made on Sunday restricted the provision of accommodation services to self-isolation only. According to I. Šimonytė, this decision was made after assessing that accommodation services are still relevant for people working in other municipalities and foreigners.
Also at Monday’s meeting, Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys presented a proposal for the extension of the quarantine. The prime minister acknowledged that on Sunday the government’s decision was taken without following the procedures that make this provision mandatory.
