The fact that sports training is taking place at the Lazdijai sports center was made clear last Thursday when an outbreak of coronavirus diseases broke out.

According to Dalytė Nekraševičienė, head of the Alytus branch of the National Center for Public Health, the outbreak of coronavirus diseases was registered at the Lazdijai Sports Center last week.

“Currently, we have two illnesses, one of them diagnosed for an employee of the institution and the other for visitors. Dozens of samples were taken, both from staff and visitors “, Delphi said D. Nekraševičienė.

When asked which visitors visited the facilities of the sports center, if the classes for the students are held remotely, the epidemiologist instructed them to look for information at the institution itself.

Mr. Nekraševičienė’s wife, Edmundas Nekraševičius, has been a conservative candidate for the Lazdijai district municipal council.

It turns out that the coronavirus was detected in a member of the sports center’s support staff and in a teacher at a local school who may have attended illegal activities.

Among the contacts reported by sick people is the local deputy mayor A. Clay.

The politician himself confirmed that he attends classes in the gymnasium of the sports center.

“We have contracts with the center, non-formal education is being taught, I also attend those classes. The monthly subscription is fifteen euros, we pay it to the center,” he said. Delphi Leader of the conservatives Lazdijai.

The deputy mayor could not answer what the contract was, nor did he explain what qualification document he would receive when he completed the so-called training at the sports center. A. Clay could not answer, and how long will they last and “these non-formal adult education sessions”

According to the activity reports of the sports center on the municipality’s website, the center runs two non-formal education programs for adults: one of them is fitness, classes are held in the gym and a total of 154 people attend classes.

Lazdijai Sports Center is an educational institution fully maintained by the Lazdijai District Municipality. Its annual budget is 0.4 million euros.

Delphi When contacted by the officially appointed non-formal adult education teacher, Coach Artūras Mačionis, when asked about his students and the coronavirus outbreak during training, the coach stated that he was “running the classes remotely.”

Lazdijai Municipality in 2019 for more than 135 thousand. Community-funded repairs to facilities now equipped with gyms and aerobics rooms.

Jam 2015-2017 While working as Director of Lazdijai District Municipality Administration, Lazdijai District Municipality initiated the above-mentioned premises repair project.

After the elections of the foundations and municipal councils in 2019, when A. Klėja became the deputy mayor of the Lazdijai district, former clients of the sports club now play sports, calling it non-formal adult education.

The fact that non-formal education is only a cover for the activities of a sports club can also be judged from the records of the sports hall itself on the social network.

The post, published on March 18, announces the resumption of gym activities, but not a word about non-formal education activities.

It is interesting that R. Paulionis, the president of the Sakalas sports club, is one of the first to share the newly announced announcement.
